Bottle split on the train from New Street to Kings Norton, big thanks to GT2 for gifting me this one, 24/01/15. Mahogany brown with a decent tan covering. Nose is rich malt, toffee, dark fruits, raises, lightly oxidised tones, faint charr. Taste comprises bitter dark fruit peel, light spice, biscuit, raisens, leather, dark malt, toffee. Medium + bodied, fine carbonation, lightly drying close with a touch of warming alcohol. Solid gear.

Bottle thank to Tim. Pours a cloudy brown with medium creamy beige head that lasts. The aroma is dark chocolate, vanilla, caramel. Thin mouthfeel with nice sweet chocolate and roast, very nice.

Bottle thanks to T-Bois on the train (part 2) to the Cotteridge Convention. It pours deep brown with a small tan head. The nose is rich, deep maltiness, wood, leather, dark fruits, dried berry, raisin, sugary, touch of menthol and umami. The taste is rich, malt-driven, toasty, wood, earth, brown sugar, old leather sofa, cocoa, spice and booze. Full body and moderate carbonation. Rich, malty and earthy. Rather nice and quaffable.

A little syrupy. Some roast. Not sure this is holding up as well over time. Consistency is a little on the watery side. Pours black without much head or lacing. Bottle pours shared by Jackl at Churchkey’s 5th anniversary.

12 ounce bottle into snifter, bottled on 11/17/2010. Pours very hazy/cloudy nearly opaque dark brown color with a 1-2 finger dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice soapy lacing clings on the glass, with some moderate streaming carbonation. Aromas of big raisin, prune, fig, citrus zest, caramel, molasses, toast, brown sugar, chocolate, light roast, brown bread, herbal, floral, grass, and toasted earthiness. Very nice aromas with good complexity and balance of dark/roasted malt, citrus/earthy hops, and fruity yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of big raisin, prune, fig, citrus zest, caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, brown bread, herbal, floral, grass, pine, and toast/grassy earthiness. Fair amount pine/herbal/roasted bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of raisin, prune, fig, citrus zest, caramel, toast, toffee, chocolate, cocoa, roasted malt, brown bread, brown sugar, herbal, floral, grass, pine, and toast/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of dark/roasted malt, citrus/earthy hops, and fruity yeast ester flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a moderately creamy, smooth, and fairly bready/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is an excellent strong ale. All around great complexity and balance of dark/roasted malt, citrus/earthy hops, and yeast ester fruitiness; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Dark brown. Little head. Sweet vineous, port-like aroma. Similar taste. Some tobacco and leather.

Shared 355 ml bottle at local tasting. ABV is 9.2%. Dark brown colour, moderate beige head. Aroma of molasses and oak. The flavour is better than batch 6000, less sweet (but still sweet enough) with a more distinct hop profile, notes of oak and tobacco.

Kveldens siste på RB-treffet i det private boksølmuseet på Vistenes: slankere og mindre søt enn Batch 6000, noe som gjør den mer konsumeringsvennlig. Umulig å merke at de iflg vaskeseddelen har brukt hele 60 ulike humler. Men en velkomponert lapskaus er alltid godt. Prøver gjerne flere fra dette bryggeriet.

12 oz. bottle courtesy of Queenholly, thanks so much! Deep brown with ruby highlights around the edges. Thin, very light white head. Aroma and flavor runs hand in hand. Real nice subtle complexities. Dark fruit, caramel malts, toffee, some pine hops, light cocoa. Coffee notes. Woody notes. Finish has a balance of roasted malt and pine type hops. Overall heavy on the malts. I don’t know how old the bottle is but… no alcohol to be found anywhere. Very light warming sensation after the sip. Medium body leaning on the full side and a soft carbonation. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Very delightful and sophisticated. Glad to have had this chance to sample the last “Batch”. Finely aged. Thanks again Rebekah!

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle, extra in a trade from queenholly. Pours translucent dark brown with small light brown head. Very little lacing, medium body, medium carbonation, and light molasses aroma. Taste is molasses, caramle malt, roasted malt, and bitter hop finish. Not my thing.
