Lots of bourbon sweetness up front, with a bit of prickle from cinnamon but not overt flavor. Not too much to say that I didn't say last time.
Very similar to the Old Schoolhouse, actually. I wouldn't say there's anything especially tropical about this. Finishes less metallic and a bit more... cocoa-like, I guess? Malty, not sweet.
Quite dark for a brown ale; I'd call this a porter. Fairly thick, creamy with a lot of roasted coffee notes in the flavor. Finishes a bit metallic, but enjoyably so.
A light, pleasant dark lager with a bit of chocolate, a bit of roast, and a bit of coffee. Creamy and clean.
At first glance this is really good; a piney, hoppy IPA with a funky/cereal finish. After a while the resin builds up in pungency and it gets a little less great, but it's still a strong offering from Fremont.

Whiskey, sweet, a little but of nutty coffee, but avoids being too heavy or syrupy. Not at the very pinnacle of this style, but maybe close to it. Yes I realize this picture makes the burger look enormous, it wasn't really that big.
Missed logging this at the time and it's way in the past. I do remember liking this very much and that the fig was quite striking.
Hilariously, when I ordered a Festivus they brought out another Splinters, and honestly I was too far gone to realize it, other than thinking they'd really improved the Festivus. When they corrected their mistake, yeah. Pretty perfumey.
Least sour Berliner Weisse I've ever had. All wheat funk, no sour, light grape. It's actually really quite good.
Somewhere between a CDA and a Belgian dubbel. Hoppy and fruity with plenty of caramel.
Cleaner, more straightforward porter. Light, hoppy finish.
Brut but with a funky curl. Maybe a little too juicy? Grapey, bitter, bubbly, resin.
Slightly fruity in front. Malty/uric finish, medium smooth.
Dark, roasty but creamy. Would have pegged as a porter but it has a bit of lactic finish. Slightly reminiscent of sesame candy.
Only had a sip of this, but my impression is that the oaky-sweet caramel works well to cut what would have otherwise been a bit of a musty, dry cider.
Nicely round oak and caramel to open. More than a little piney hop but clean and balanced pretty well. Tastes less boozy than you'd expect at 11%+ ABV.
