Pretty good, mellow, slightly lemony. Cereal finish. Somewhat unusually opaque/thick, in an almost disturbing way, maybe? It tasted good though.

I'm guessing the only difference between my previous log and this one is the flatness. This was decently carbonated and it offset the bitterness a bit (although it was still quite bitter). Probably made it less authentic though.

Orange forward, pithy. This is a juicy pale for sure, although the bitterness is pretty strong.

Thin, unsweet stout with forward spice. It is pretty much accurate although I’m pretty sure the gingerbread version of this made for a more enjoyable beer.

A pleasant, inoffensive lemon-pine IPA. Not bitter.

Blueberry and lemon together is definitely going to land on the tart side, and this one defnitely is. The clean sourness of the lemon mixes pretty well with the cloudy, slightly funky blueberry flavor. I think this would totally depend on your mood (and I didn't really seem to like this last time).

Grapefruit forward, a little bit of pith bitterness, but overall very mild. I liked this.

What if Cherry Coke, but a beer? Seriously, though, it's not cough-syrup like, and it's not really an authentic cherry flavor either. Once I had the realiziation I definitely couldn't untaste it.

Cocoa and roast, smooth but also flattish. The barrel is there but the finish is more bitter than boozy. A little of a chore to finish.

It's light but with a strong bitter backbone, made me think of something like an Italian pilsner but with the sweet, floral notes of rice. Reminiscent of jasmine.

Some white pepper and corander up front followed by vinous white grape notes. Tart and drying. Love this!

Sweet, lightly yeasty ale with some floral hop, funk, and bitterness coming to the forefront from the cask pour. Saison-like.

Fairly bitter, clean, thin mouthfeel. Caramel and hop oil, sweet but with an astringent finish.

Very weird having this right after the sour, it took a few sips to recalibrate. Hoppy, rooty, plenty of caramel, clean finish. Wood rather than booze.

Immediate up-front tartness, a fruity, grapey-apple flavor that isn't too far off from a fancy Martinelli's. Fairly sour.

Banana/stone fruit; a very mellow, summery beer. Bit of bitterness on the backbone but it’s a nice, yeasty beer.

Exactly what you'd expect.

Spicy, malty, bready. There's a hint of smoke and caraway and some rounded hop flavor too; other beers do these flavors and I'm a little offended but it's really well balanced here.

Sweet, bready. Firm flavor of coriander here, along with an almost-hint of apple+cinnamon? It's very pleasant.

Grapefruit+citrus sweet hazy IPA. Lightly herbaceious. Fruity hops seem to be the signature at this brewery.

Fruity/hoppy lager, pine-lemon. Mildly sweet finish but not much cereal. This is like a pale ale that finishes more like a lager than the other way around.

Interesting stout base for peanut butter; it's more of a cola-like stout with fruitiness and round hops poking through. Definitely has peanut butter but it's a strange mix.

A summary, sweet-lemon saison with peppery clove notes. Just a tiny bit on the oily side, but it's nice.

Caramel, light raisin, delicious and smooth. Definitely boozy and slightly tacky, but it's delicious.

Slightly spicy, but otherwise so smooth. A creamy-roast unsweet stout; notes of pumpernickel.

An unpleasant odor right away, sulfur and dishwater. The flavor isn't quite as off-putting, but it's hard to get over that first hit.

Lightly fruity Kölsch but the finish is particularly bitter.

A bright, lightly hoppy golden ale where the fruitiness of the watermelon is right there on the finish rather than being a weird tacked-on flavor. My palate is famously finicky with watermelon so maybe it’s just a good day, but yum.

Sweet, Helles-like, but with some interesting Belgian-ish spice notes lingering on top. A little funk. My taste buds might be seriously compromised by the Petite Mort, but I appreciate that this isn't actually coming across as "just another lager"

A sweetish lager, lightly fruity, with some wet-hay-like funk. Tastes English if you ask me.

Intensely pungent lemon-pine IPA with vegetal overtones and a drying middle. Light diacetyl butteriness. Finishes clean but this is not a light-hearted beer.

A caramel amber lager with an assertive roast bitterness breaking through an otherwise cereal sweetness. Ain’t a Sam Adams.

Look. I was pretty drunk by this point. It was good, I didnt really taste the coconut and that's on me. It's a good porter.

A very pleasant, light-light rice lager. I was in the middle of a very aggressively-flavored catfish po'boy (delicious though) so I'm not sure I can describe this in a more nuanced way.

Definitely doesn't taste as barrel-forward as the beers I usually get from Métier. This is good but it's not blowing me away. Slightly tart, tacky... barrel/booze character is lacking.

Seems lighter than last time. The notes from my first log still seem to be very true, especially the cherry notes. It's as smooth and as light as a boozy amber can be, maybe??

Somewhat tart, tacky stout with a plummy alcohol finish. It doesn’t have the sophistication of the manumission. Perhaps a bit more prickly than the regular BA Sherwood from yesterday.

Date/toffee/rum, somewhat strong in alcohol character but balanced nicely with a smooth, roasty stout. Burnt sugar aftertaste.

Seems like a large difference from last time and context is probably quite relevant here. But today this was a great followup to La Mort Rouge.

It's not as red winey as I remember - more like La Petit Mort in being caramel forward with a little bit of fruitiness. Don't know if my tastes have changed or if it's just simply being a 7 year old vintage.

Lightly sweet, caramel dark lager. Hint of roast, a little tang. It’s inoffensive but sometimes that’s exactly what you are looking for.

Interesting that this is based on Thor’s Hammer, since twice now I’ve found it significantly for successful. Maybe it’s just the vanilla? Who knows?
