The smoothest of the three, unsurprisingly, but also lets more of the raw alcohol through. It's also slightly more simplistic in its sweetness, although, let's be honest. This is still awesome.

I think this was the best of the flight - smoother, sweeter, disspates in the finish and there's none of the bitterness that was present in the 2025.

A Thanksgiving flight! The youngest here is redolent of plum, caramel, date, and as always, quite smooth. Slight cola qualitites. Finishes a little bitter.

Flavorful porter, thin mouthfeel but roasty and hinting at licorice and blackstrap molasses. Bitter finish.

Quite flavorful, opens like a German Pilsner, but dries out fast. This is quite bitter, almost acrid. Decent but not easy.

It’s pretty sweet. And it’s a thick sweetness so the effect kind of accumulates in your mouth. I was really impressed at first taste but the more i have the more i’m kinda like hmmmmm. Would probably have rated one tick higher if i’d gotten the tasting size.

Quite sweet, reminiscent of Candi sugar, but it smooths out what otherwise would have tasted very alcoholic. Definitely one for a small glass after dinner.

Okay at this point it’s almost certainly me. Also metallic. An assertive dry bitterness to finish, Brett/horse blanket funk.

Just a little hint of citrus which is unexpected but good.

Starts off like a hef but gets funky quickly. I know I’ve said everything tastes metallic today but this one does too, with some bitter funk.

Very pleasant porter. Roast beef. In a good way.

Well the pumpkin is very subtle and there’s a bitterness that seems off… a weird like cherry cough syrup thing too. i dunno…

There’s just something a little off here. Tastes almost a little rubbery… of course I did just have a McRib…

Quite good. The pumpkin is not obnoxious. A little spice. Definitely whiskey barrel aged

Almost grassy at first taste but then it kind of mellows out with some dill and I dunno… fennel?

An ok porter with some slight smoke and metallic finish but aside from a light custard sweetness, I can’t detect anything pumpkin- or pie-like in the flavor. I think that has to count against it.

Roasty with some cereal, bitter finish. Mild tobacco? Slightly tacky finish that gives it that English feeling. I like this.

Really pleasant with a hint of chocolate, toasted almond but not overly sweet

Creamy, roasty, light coffee, lightly sweet.

Rounded, very hoppy red. Light roast. Some metallic quality actually balances the hops out and makes this interesting.

Kind of like drinking a pine tree. Dark and resinous, with a bitter buildup that gets pretty intense in the aftertaste.

Pineapple-forward ale, tart and a little murky, with some mild coconut sweetness and lime brightening the end.

Sweet with an almost fruit punch character. You can tell it's alcoholic but it very much does not put you in a beer headspace; in that way, this is not far off in my memory from some of the fruit ales from New Glarus.

Two years on since the last time I had this, it can only be mellower. It’s is extraordinarily mellow. Lightly sweet, the faintest hint of dried plum, a burnt toffee finish.

Malty, molasses, hoppy. Hints of herbal candy; medicinal. Smooth and homey.

Thickish, very chocolate, with a nice, after-dinner kind of consistency. Reminded me a lot of an Andes Mint without the mint, strangely.

Fairly bitter and alpha forward, but clear honey notes and cereal on the way to the finish.

Fizzy, cherry up-front on the top of the flavor going into a ong cacao finish. Prickly finish with very light smoke.

Sweetish, juicy IPA, extremely cloudy. Grapefruit-forward. Acrid but light finish.

Roast, coffee-forward, slightly thinner than your average barrel-aged stout. Caramel booze, believable as Basil Hayden. I like the base beer here, and I like this barrel-aged version.

Super fragrant hop opening with a clear nutmeg and clove poking through. Sustained sweetness and smoothness from the lactose. Surprisingly enjoyable.

Funk up front but mostly turns into a candy fruit sweetness. Dragonfruit and strawberry jam? I went back and forth whether I was vibing with it or not through the course of the glass.

Hoppy, somewhat acrid.

more grapefruity and even rindy

it’s grapefruity. i dunno.

This is good. The nice juicy sort of IPA that I actually like!

It's fine, but not really interesting. Not overly bitter. Not at all fruity. Not particularly clean not crisp. I get a little brackish Pale Ale as I drink more. Meh.

It like wants to give you all three flavors and some of them seem like they’re about to be pleasant but then they all get jumbled and it’s cough syrup

It's got this weird perfume essence that does not do it for me. Might be a good thick stout otherwise.

i imagine lots of people fall over themselves for this sort of hoppy bitter thing but it’s just not for me

nice. almost a little sweet and fruity for me but it manages to stay under control

This is good. Smooth, Good thickness. Nice sweetness. A little bit of spice.

Even better or the same as last time. which is to say great. a little tinge of cinnamon too this time

It actually wasn't as terrible as I remember. Not bad.
