The bottle opens with a huge crack but luckily the beer was well behaved and I didn’t wear any of it. Pours a thick inky black with a huge mocha head that persists long after it should. Smells of roast, milk and dark chocolate right off the bat. The aroma is sweet with caramel and darker malts with hints of earthy hops and licorice. The flavor is very sweet with caramel and lots of milk chocolate. There’s a fruity tartness in the middle somewhere as well as some brown sugar and earthy hops. Thick body with an asinine level of carbonation and a sweet thick syrupy mouthfeel. This is a very nice stout it’s very flavorful and aside from the carbonation I really enjoyed it.

Bottle @ RBESG Grand Tasting 2012, courtesy of TheAlum. Thanks Adam! Black appearance with a brown head. Roasty, black licorice, dark chocolate, woody, mild vanilla aroma. Burnt, roasty, dark chocolate malty, mild boozy/vodka, light espresso somewhat burnt flavor. Nice taste but a bit boozy and spirit-like.

Bottle, RBESG 2012 grand tasting. Colour as black as it can get. Aroma peat, ash, sweetish, bourbon. Taste medium bitter, medium sweet, chocolate, a bit off coffee, roasted, wood, light tart. Complex and wonderful. Given the ABV it is highly drinkable. Long bitter finish. Another highlight of the evening, I need more of this!

Poured a pitch black body with a light brown head. Coffee, alcohol and dark chocolate in the aroma. Sticky cocoa taste, sweet, but mostly a blast of coffee ending in dust. Very light figs. Another very good beer!
