660ml bottle, shared at Indy Man 2016. Pours opaque deep brown to black with a loose tan head. Aroma: vinous, jammy dark fruits, plums, prunes, molasses, cocoa, hint of oxidisation. Taste: moderate sweet, roasted malts, vinous, woody oak, burnt brown sugar, molasses, dark fruits. Medium bodied, light carb, sweet cider barrel tinged finish. It's lasted well, all things considered

Bottle split at Bruce’s, big thanks to Kenny, 06/03/15. Pitch black topped with a decent tan swirl. Nose is spice, earthy cocoa, oxidised notes, light must, toffee fudge, dark fruit peel. Taste comprises chocolate soufle, earthy, hint of coffee, wooded tones, ripe fruit, brown sugars, less oxidised than the nose - gentle trace, dates, fruit cake. Medium + body, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Not bad age considered.

Bottle shared in London - huge thanks to Kenneth for digging into the archives for this one. Pours deep brown with a frothy beige head. The nose holds dark malts, cocoa, dark fruits. Hints of old toffee. Medium sweet flavor with some chalky cocoa, old dried dark fruits, earth. Sweet finish with some well toasted dark malts, a bit of earth, toasted caramel, more dried berries. Mild oxidation but this is still great stuff overall.

Opaque black beer. Light brown head. Nice combination of malt, bubblegum and sweet apple on the nose. Palate is semi soft and semi dry. Sweet dark malt with unsweet bubblegum that slowly morphs in to something appley. Finishes semi dry and with more dark malt. Was really looking forward to this - a Cider Brandy barrel beer! The reality is the flavour is mostly malt and bubblegum. Decent enough.

Dark brown color, almost black. Aroma of chocolate, paper, ash, alcohol, caramel; initially unexciting, then getting better. Good chocolate flavor, with pleasant residual sweetness; light ashy, coffee trace; reasonable hopping, for an English beer; the final has some alcohol too. Very pleasant.
2010-06-04. RBESG 2010, bottle at Johnny’s Off License, Rome, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Black color; creamy head. Nice aroma of roasted malt, cheese rind, coffee, all mild. Good body strength, chocolate flavor, with light roasted malt, enough residual sweetness, salty liquorice, and an English touch that makes it more interesting. Warming alcohol. Good.

Bottled. Deep ambery copper colour with small off-white foamy head. Aroma is dark dry fruits, some raisins, mild alcohol, chocolate and wood. Flavour is being quite similar with also some liquorice and mild notes of yeast.

Dark brown, possibly muddy. Fruity aroma with apple notes, alcohol heat and some dark burnt sugars (Okinawa black). Soft body. Black sugar and raisins, with light fruitiness and a slight apple brandy note. Surprisingly mellow after that burly nose. This is a good treatment.
