On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear orange gold with small frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is bready malt, yeast, pure sugar. Medium mouth, belgian yeast, candy sugar, fruity malt, light bitterness, very good.

12 oz can purchased as a single at Spec’s Liquor in Dallas, Texas. Crafted on 3 1 16 stamped on bottom of the can. The pour is a hazed yellow golden with a smallish white head with some suspended floaties. The aroma is soft lemon, general fruit sweetness and not much else. The taste is lemon peach along with an off flavor, almost and oxidized malt, towards the back. The palate is light to thin bodied with soft carbonation and a dirty finish. Didn’t work for me.

Draught at the brewery. Dark brown. Thin head. The aroma has a lot of molasse, and light fruit. This is an inky brew, with rich fruit, lots of roast. Moderate bitterness. Easy going, though, drinkable for the rich flavours.

Tap at the brewery. Medium brown. Vanilla, bourbon nose, but boozier than the others in the set. A bit thinner, and higher in carbonation with more chocolate syrup taste (on what was already a pretty chocolatey beer). The alcohol really comes through in the finish. Still pretty drinkable, but much boozier and still without a lot of nuance.

Had this one on tap at the brewery. Medium brown. Bourbony nose. Quite sweet. Chocolate, and vanilla. Soft body. Basically adds vanilla to the regular basic Hellfighter, without a whole lot of nuance.

Medium brown. Has some chocolate taste, fairly sweet. A fairly simple, reasonably tasty, sweet chocolatey strong porter. Not seeing anything massive or standout, though.

Draught at the brewery. Dark copper. Thin head. Malty, syrupy-minty, quite sweet overall. The hops are minty and mandarin. But this comes across as a very strong, sweet example, getting into "Triple IPA" territory here.

Golden. Sweetish, a little plasticy on the nose. A bit of bitterness on the palate, but alcohol and sticky sweetness predominate. A typically clunky American tripel

Bronze colour. The aroma is slightly stale c hop.. Moderate bitterness. Has a light caramel taste, and a fair amount of grapefruit. Would prefer it to be bright, though.

Very pale and hazy. Has a nice grapefruity/mango nose. Similar palate. Lighter body, not a lot of bitterness. So a wheat-accented session IPA. It works.
