Gold pour with a white head. Nose is sweet, fruity, caramel, and dough. Easy palate, super sweet, candied sugar, dried fruits, and light alcohol.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with sticky white head. Aroma is yeasty, biscuit, fruity esters. Flavor is very much the same, malty sweet with a very balanced, neutral finish. Medium mouthfeel with medium-high carbonation. Overall, I kinda dig it....use a Belgium ale recipe but no Belgian yeast strain and this is what you get! Very easy to drink for an advertised 10% abv. Not bad at all!

Bottle. Nose is funky and very slightly metallic, but with a earthy, bready note underneath, Pour a hazy gold/orange with a fast dissipating head. Very sweet and sharp -- boozy and citrusy with a bitter aftertaste. Finish hangs around as long as an indigent in-law, and is about as pleasant. I’m afraid I can’t get behind this one.

the newest texas brewery, lets see .. Pours a deep caramel orange .. low foam, even on the pour- light spots of lacing .. . soft mouth, and amazingly smooth, quite remarkable in that sense .. . lots of dough, light grain, touch of golden raisin bread, natural honey, and a touch of buttery caramel booziness .. . easy finish, quite slippery in the mouth .. . i think it needs to be firmer and more defined, and maybe cleaned up a bit but quite good for the first release from this very young brewery, and also very ambitious to do such a high gravity brew, so props for that! but lower the price a bit, almost 12 bucks is way to much for a bomber, i know i will never go near this again at that price, you’re local- don;t forget that.. . .
