RBESG08 grand tasting2006 vintage. Red-brown body, off white head. Malty and caramelly taste. Sweet malty taste, somewhat woody, just ok, boring even. Guess barleywines aren’t my favorite style.

bottle at RBESG ... 2006 bottle ... Deep brown ... tart malty nose ... sweet roast malts fruity and juicy ...

Bottled at RBESG. Cloudy amber, mid-sozed head. Fruity coriander aroma. Sweet and fruity with medium body and sticky mouthfeel. Intersting flavour of estery melon. Low bitterness. Where my favourite saisons are light, dry and lively this is dense, sweet and sticky. While I like the aroma and some flavour components it ends up tasting like a sugar concotion with soem pleasant flavours.

Bottled at RBESG. Very black with dense beige head. Oaky licorice and vanilla aroma. Sweet and full bodied. Full flavoured with dense bready malt and big amounts of salty licorice. Slightly raw and immature, some additional aging would do it well, but already at this point it is a tasty, potent imperial stout.
