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?

Primary flavor is reminiscent of pear, with a funky gose like character on top. The finish gets more cereal and sweet over time, but you can taste the salt for sure.

The lavender is not at the forefront here. It’s primarily a citrus IPA with a strong, sweet overtone (I think this is where the lavender is coming in). The hops are pretty assertive and get stronger through the glass.

Tastes like a milkshake sour, mildly tart raspberry/sour strawberry and a mellow semisweet finish. It’s not especially milky except in the late aftertaste.

Amber, rich opening, dry resin middle and a cream-ale like cereal finish. The dryness carries on a bit afterwards. Like this quite a lot.

An intensely fragrant, pine-lemon hop bomb up front, although there's a mellow caramel cereal to the finish that counteracts this somewhat in a pleasing way. Still, its assertiveness may get in the way of pure enjoyment.

Very nice... A slightly sweeter Gundpowder Plot that really brings out the caramel. I never thought the base beer tasted particularly barrel-aged, but maple and vanilla really brings out (or at least simulates) that character.

Starts out with orange/grapefruit hazy hop notes but gets quite tasty very fast. Hints of white pepper and coriander give it a Belgian flair, with a bit of vinous/buttery funk to finish. A little too tart to be a summer gulper.

Could have been a nice beer, but it's a little over-heavy on the lime, especially the tartness. There's a fair bit of sweetish funk as well, but the net effect is that this isn't really bright or refereshing, it's more of a chore. And the sourness just keeps going on and on.

Though its darker, this is fairly similar to the Spackler’s, except not nearly as bitter.

Bright and bitter. Normally it’d probably be too much for me but I think after the sour Helles this was nice.

Don’t know if the can is bad but this feels tart and a little dank, doesn’t match my description from when I was at the taproom.

Don't get a lot of barrel here. It's a smooth stout with caramel notes but it's almost more savory than sweet, despite a foamy, malty finish. Feels like this is maybe quite different every year.

Pine, herbaceous, sunny but with a vegetal, highy bitter finish.

Clean, avoids being syrupy while also being believably cherry. Not getting a ton of “pie” here though, other than it not being necessarily as sour as it could have been.

Looks like barely diluted compote and tastes looks it- berry, slight fruit funk, skewed toward the sweet rather than complex. Not bad but also not all I’d hoped for.

Cocoa, roast, creamy and light. Appreciate any Milk Stout that isn’t simplistically sweet.

Far too much hop character to feel like a lager to me, but this is quite tasty and enjoyable. Orange-grapefruit with some noticeable tartness, dry body, but also quite sunny. Goes down easy.

Flatter than the Brewtea, which accentuates some of the herbality of the hops. Bergamot is at the forefront here, there's less drying from the tea. It's good but not as good as the other one.

A very mild bitter with a nice dryness from the tea. Light esters and an unidentifiable fruit roundness on top of the yeast. Quite decent.

This is really pleasant to drink. You can see the similarity to the Midday, but with that bit of roast added in ups the game. Interestingly, it doesn't have the bitter bite of the Midday. This really tastes like what I'd imagine a dark rice lager to be rather than any other dark lager type, which makes it worth it!

This doesn't work for me. It has the sourness of an oud bruin, but it feels kind of tacked-on to the base doppelbock, which is kind of inoffensively sweet. The net result, with no funk or depth to balance it out, is a real kind of vinegary simpleness to the flavor.

Funky saison, up-front sweetly floral, finishing with a bit of horse blanket and bitterness. Not totally sure I get rosemary here other than in some woodiness. Leaves the tongue feeling a bit fuzzy.

Not bad at all, actually, athough it doesn't do anything to convince me that the "white stout" style isn't a scam. This tastes more like a sweet-ish coffee blonde rather than anything stout. It's a nice kind of toasty flavor but there's no real depth of body here (maaaaaybe that's the point). It is clean and tasty.

Starts out feeling a little watery; a lightly sweet, tangy lager. However, there's an interestingly bracing bitterness, almost woody, that dominates the second half of the sip. Appreciate the hit.

A roasty-cream coffee stout, a little sweeter than I'd prefer, but at least there's a dry finish. Lactose?

Cloudy-funky lager, somewhat citrus-infused. There's definitely some heat in this, although it's not as assertive as I'd have guessed with ghost peppers. Of all of these, this is the most drinkable.

A lime-forward hop bomb that also seems to have that coconut overtone present in the Happy Hoh. Also: is not hazy at all?

An intensely alpha IPA, citrus rind, pine, and ... coconut? Almost?? Seems unlikely, but that's the flavor I'm getting.

Amber lager with a significant caramel backbone and aftertaste. Behind all that, a light grassy bitterness provides contrast. It's a very clean and light after the stouts.

Smells like strawberry jam. It doesn't 100% meld into the stout, which is robust and roasty. Note: if you mix this 50-50 with the Mrs. Voorhees it's pretty good.

Decent peanut butter fragrance and flavor; just a bit sweeter than I'd prefer and there's some abrasiveness to the finish. It's fine though.

Toasty, dry brown ale. The swetness is in the interesting spice profile on the finish, almost reminiscent of a root beer? Sarsaparilla? I liked it.

Similar to the Ruby Ale but a little murkier, more sour, it has that lactic sweetness you'd expect from the description, but the finish isn't quite as pleasant.
