Cheers to Perkeo for what was billed as possibly the last bottle in existence. Muddy dark amber colour. The aroma was strong bourbon with underlying caramel malts. The palate was sweet. The malts were long and well-extracted. They also had a little earthiness to go with the caramel and this helped the beer survive an onslaught of vanilla notes. Suprisingly, I didn’t hate it, though my opinions were all over the map between aroma, flavour, finish, and balance.

Muddy amber, lots of lacing, light head. Nose of bourbon & vanilla, fairly one-dimensional. The flavor is sweet and bourbonesque, more in the nose than the flavor though. Finish tart. Eh, not quite living up to expectations here.

Deep brown/amber body with no real head. Aroma is big with bourbon. with some oak and pine, ripe fruit and caramel malts. Full and smooth, sweet and caramely and ends up alcoholic, oaky and slightly bitter. Gives the whiskey warmth but nothing spectacular.

A tremendous beer! Very smooth and flavorful with a lot of whiskey/bourbon essence to it (obviously). Vanilla, cherry, and oak flavors predominate; this beer is almost like a World Wide Stout or a fine wine that got filtered through bourbon barrel oak. I have no idea where to get it anymore, unfortunately.

RBSG 2004. Deep red, a little head on this one. Sweet scotch and dark cherries in the nose. Very nice sharp bourbon flavor, overpowering... some roasted nuts, scotch and sharp, very alcoholic flavors.

RBSG 2004: Orange ruby with a small head. Sweet malts and light bourbon in the aroma, starts and ends lightly sweet. While a good example of a bourbon aged beer, I felt that there was a tad too much bourbon flavor in it.

RBSG 04. Pours a dark amber with a small tan head. Great toffee aroma with a slight woody smell to it. Taste was rich and malty, earthy, with a slightly bitter finish to balance it out. Great brew, i wish widmer would release this to the public.
