"2006 Bottle. The beer is dark copper, when held to the light you can see through it somewhat. The head was thin but stuck around. The aroma is sweet malt and maple sugar. Yum Yum. The flavour is sticky sweet with some alcohol hints and sweet malt. If it was a tad less sweet and maply, I might enjoy it better."

[2] Review by beerdog from Delta, BC, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/14/2006 1:16:28 PM)
"Once past the cheesy Hanna Barbara-inspired label graphics, this wasn't bad. It poured a darkish copper colour, and was somewhat cloudy. The tan coloured head was on the small side but did produce some decent lacing. Aroma was of spices and also malt, with some coffee lurking in the background. Taste was chiefly of maly and coffee, with the spices being a bit overwhelmed by these first two. Mouthfeel and aftertaste were not unpleasant. Not a bad beer. I was unaware of the high ABV until I took a closer look at the label; it didn't taste like a 10.5%."

"07.08.05 RBSG Beautiful clouded amber, medium khaki head and lots of lace. Tobacco, apple, soy, strawberries, jammy. This stuff is out of control and just beautiful. I get some vinous notes, but not much wood, more like a younger wood aged port...but milder, not old. Palate is so soft but not at all flat."

"2004... Poured a copper color with a medium sized off white head, that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of earthy, fruity, light citrus hoppiness, red wine, and vanilla oak. The taste showed lots of fruit and oak, with light bitterness, and a spicy alcohol finish."
