Bomber from Grapevine Beer & Wine. Didn't realize how old this was till I googled it. Always been a fan of Real Ale. Golden Stouts, not so much. Pint glass at the lodge. Super frothy, tall, sticky pour. Golden, but with just a twinge of glaze & protein to it. Smell is cheap beer & cacao nibs. Taste is sticky Yeungling, with some ashy coffee & a hint of confectionery caramel. Frothy, crispy, but not as lux as other golden Stouts I've had. Meh.

A golden stout. Is that an oxymoron? In any case, glad to try a brew from Real Ale. Enjoyed visiting their brewery a few years back. I have a now rare to find bomber purchased at the closest HEB. The bottle is cooled off and I have the New Belgium snifter in place. I concur, it is gold in color and has a curious, pure white head. I take a smell, chocolate, interestingly. The taste, well, I’m not sure of it all. It is a stout influence, sort of chocolate, some coffee and malt. A bit thin. Points for trying to brew something different but I’m not on it.
