Bottle, RBESG 2007 in Glasgow, Grand Tasting. Dark brown colour. Extremely woody aroma, seems a bit unbalanced. The flavour is also very woody with coffee notes, alcoholic. No match for Nøgne Ø Dark Horizon.

Bottle at RBESG 2007. Cheesy aroma. Hot alcohol. Too full on. Juicy but for me just too sweet.

Bottled at RBESG ’07. Dark brown, no head. Aroma of cocoa liqueur. Sweet and very potent. Concentrated flavour of cocoa powder, red berries and brandy. Full bodied is an understatement, it’äs massive. Still a bit young, so it’s rather sugary. A hugely warming beer with loads of character.

(Draught at Delirium Café, Gothenburg, 31 July 2007) Amber colour with brief off-white head. Fruity nose with notes of grapefruit, orange and mandarin. Fruity, hoppy taste with grapefruit, orange peel and floral hops in a rather dry, fairly short, finish. Light body. Nice summer brew, fairly dry, fruity, with a nice hop character.

Bottle RBESG07 quite late on, and while my palate was not at its best this beer managed to cut through that and still shine. (a must to try again on a cleaner palate.) Ruby colloured ... high sharp hop nose ... very fruity ...very juicy ... delicious ...

Bottle at RBESG 07 ... Deep Black ... Nice deep fruityness with a little meatyness in nose ... zingy fruity mouth feel ... Lovely juicy ... very sweet ... good balance. rich and complex. The 1/2 Idjit was nice but im definitly a full Idjit. I do hope this is at Stockholm beer festival I truly think this beer deserves a second examiniation.

Draft. A hazy dark amber beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma is sweet hoppy and spicy. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, bisquits, grass, and spices, leading to a dry spicy finish. Nice.

Draught @ Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Pours a black color with a longlasting tan head. Roasted malty coffee aroma with some chocolate hints. Roasted malty flavor with lots of coffee and licorice. Also some hints of chocolate in the flavor. Sweet roasted malty coffee and licorice finish with a long bitter aftertaste.
