What is there to say about this? It’s a glorious taste that cannot be described in "wine" terms.

Sep 28, 2008 On tap at the Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens on 08/03/2008 on day three of RBSG 2008. 2006 Vintage with French Oak. Clear caramel body with a small tan head. Big vanilla oak aroma with some caramel. Big caramel and light vanilla oak flavor. Medium full body with moderate carbonation.

Aug 27, 2008 On tap @ Stone, RBSG. Deep amber color, thin light white head. Heavily tannic aroma over rich malts, peppery hops and alcohol. Slight vanilla also. Taste has a defined alcoholic burn along with a defined spiciness given off by the hops and oak. Very much more oak forward than the brandy barrel version, but I really like the fresh oak characters, so I dug this one.

Aug 27, 2008 Draft... RBSG ‘08... Hazy, brilliant orange ale with a small, creamy, white head. Terrific retention. Muted, sweaty, woodsy nose. Full-bodied and very smooth with soft carbonation. Caramelly, malty flavor with sufficient bitterness to keep things in balance. Lengthy, bitter finish.

Aug 10, 2008 On-tap at STone the day after the RBSG get together. Menu said "06 Double Bastard w/ French Oak. I assumed that meant it was oaked like AB is oaked thus I am putting my rating here. Pours reddish amber with a whispy, offwhite head. Smells spicy, dark hoppy with a big sweet wood presence as well. Sweet malt flavors hit the tongues first and then a ton of sweetness from the wood. Sweet oak flavors throughout and to the finish with a bit ofspicy hops and some alcohol. Full body, good carbonation.
