On tap at EBF 08. Lots of people were raving about this, but I thought too much. Clear pale gold, thin cream head. Hop aroma is too grassy. Bit unattractive aroma. Not fantastic. Not great.

Bottle RBESG 07 ... Deep Deep black ... rich malts rich and fruity little bit meaty ...thick syrupy rich malts lots of depth and character rich fruityness and lots of roast malts. 4.0 TK 2 Bottle at home ... Deep deep black ... rich roast malts ... rich chocolate and coffee ... not as viscous as Dark Horizon and not such an alcholic spirit burn ... deep fruit malts in amongs the roast. This is a great sized bottle to settle down with. A beer this nice should be small and slowly savoured. This beer sums up all that i didnt like about RBESG (though it was still a great day) Bottle stored at home allowed to settle well, served and savoured over half and hour on a much cleaner palate. At RBESG i could see the potential of the beer but dont think the beer was given the respect it was due or the time needed to full apreciate and savour this beer. 4-> 4.3 Tk3 TOMS Ultimate Glasgow tasting ... On reflection and compaired to th other on the day , while this is still a stunning beer it didnt hold up for me to some of the others. 4.3->4.2 Tk 4 : Quick swallow at RBESG No notes but 4.1 TK5 Draught at EBF Copenhagen 08 ...

It came as a very pleasant surprise to find the 2007 vintage of this one on tap at bar set up by Den Tatoverede Enke, EBF in Copenhagen. Shining, rosewood body with no head. In-depth smell of dark malts and vanilla sweetness. Delicious taste of honey, malt-covered dark and dried fruits (plenty of raisin and prunes) with an everlasting finish of roasted bitterness added a charming spicy touch (Saturday afternoon, 13.09.2008).

Draft at Stockholm Beer Festival. An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of over ripe fruits, yeast, hops, and malt as well as alcohol that leaves a burn on the tongue, before a dry bitter finish sets in.

(Bottled vintage 2006). Sampled to celebrate my 40th birthday. Courtesy of oh6gdx (who brought this bottle from GBBF 2007). Pitch black color, good dark brown color. Oak (oak barrels), tobacco, dark malts, vanilla, some licorice in the nose. Full-bodied. Main flavor is licorice, dark roasted malts, molasses, dark chocolate. Then nuances: oak, vanilla, honey in portwineish palate. Very very complex and highly drinkable. Kick of alcohol in the atfertaste. Long mix of roasted malts and vanilla in the aftertaste. Normal Stormaktsporter is one of my favourite beers and this even tops it.

Sample @ Stockolm Beer Festival 2008. Nice light dark appearance. Tastes sweet like rasins with a dry finish. Later-> Tap @ Man in the moon. Reminds me of the finnish mead sima with its fruity, yeast and light boozy charcter,

Had this at the European Beer Festival, Kobenhaven 13-09-08 Pours black, wonderful oily texture and really thick substantial mouthfeel. Creamy, loads of coffee and dark fruits, good but not as good as the mighty Kaggen.

Draught@EBF2008. Amber colour, mediumsized beige head. Aroma is grass, hops, peach and mild notes of alcohol. Flavour is much the same. Quite a lot of alcohol and peach in the flavour. Very sweet, but yet quite wellbalanced. Bigtime bittery finish.
