Jul 11, 2005 I made the mistake of thinking this was named after someone, rather than having ginger in it. I don’t like ginger. At all. So I rate this with that in mind. Very strong, and the alcohol is right up front. The nose is, as you’d imagine, gingerish. Has a nice look to it, a bit brighter than most browns. Like I said,not my kind of deal, but okay nonetheless.

Aug 13, 2004 WOW, this is one strong and wacky beer. The ginger doesn’t overpower the beer, in fact it complements it nicely. I had this one at the brewfest in Portland, I’d like to see this on bottled, so I can get it here in the boon docks

Aug 11, 2004 Dark brown. Big spicy aroma of roasted ginger, some wood, some soapy sweet bread as well. Very sharp flavor of ginger, rye, crackers... crisp finish.

Aug 3, 2004 RBSG 2004 on tap at the brewpub: Clear orange/red color with a small white head. Very light hops and rich sweet ginger in the aroma. Ginger taste, and finish. An interesting beer, but I’m not sure that I’d ever want more than one.

Jul 29, 2004 Tap @ Gasthaus for RBSG 04’
Auburn mahogany with off-white head & some lacing. The aroma is full of caramel & ginger, light floral hops too, comes across spicy and herbal. The flavor is full of alcohol feel and a moderate body & sweetness. The finish is spicy & herbal too with lots more ginger. The ginger really takes the front spot here and balances everything out nicely.
