Bottled@RBESG 2008 Grand Tasting
Very hazy brown color, small firm tan head. Strong aroma of cocoa and candy. Liquerish palate. Nice cocoa liquerish flavor with some chocolate too. Very tasty.

How do I say this name? Tap @ Gingerman. Pours black with a light tan head. Aroma is surprising, lightly tart fruit jam with licorice and some dark prunes. That’s not what it actually smells like but I can’t freaking figure out how the heck to describe it. Very new and original with earthy, fruity, tart, and dark fruit aspects. Flavor is full of dark berries and dark malts but comes off a bit astringent. Some sweet dark grape skins as well.. Got to admit, stuff is pricey but its original.

Re-rate: 750mL flip top bottle. Pours beautiful with a large khaki head, that never fully fades, which sits atop a black body. Aroma is slightly sour tropical fruits, seems like a combination of esters and a cool yeast. Taste is an amalgamation of light roast, light chocolate sweetness and an earthy mineral feel. Goes down very easy yet full of character. Its well carbonated but has a slightly velvet feel on the tongue as well . Overall a very nice and original brew, very different than a traditional stout and not yeast dominated like a Belgian stout. The sourness on the nose is lovely, not really damn sure where its coming from. 8/4/8/4/16.

A very nice surprise of a beer. Shared by a friend with others at the Gingerman. A sour nose with butter-y sweet oak sugar. Definitely comes of as a high gravity sour. Taste has some more calming factors. I get a lot of what I can attach to maybe chestnuts. Its earthy and lightly sour as well. A bit ashy but not roasty. Some nice and original aspects.

Pretty pour with a strong frothy head on a purplish, orange-ish, dark copper body. Aroma is sour fruit and esters. Comes of as wild strawberries. Taste is similar with a but of a earthy, black tea bite. A bit of a bitterness at the end of the flavor to round it off. Ample carbonation is felt on the tongue, which helps to offset the slightly alcoholic heft to the brew. These Italians know how to make a damn original beer.

Bottle (Pilsen 2008): Very dark-amber coloured, small beige head; cacao, almonds and nuts in the nose; quite full sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; Chocolate and almonds, again in the fruity-malty finish. Interesting brew......

RBESG08 grand tasting Took me a sec to decypher the name.Really dark brown body with a small ochre head. Nice light chocolatey nose. Chocolate and hazelnuts in the taste, nice maltiness. I’d have it again I guess.

Bottled at RBESG. Very dark brown, beige head. From nose to finish the ghost of chocolate and wild raspberries hang over this beer. It’s sweet and medium bodied, densely malty with some cocoal bitterness. Like strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. Quite delicious actually, but I would not drink a bottle on my own.
