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.

Raspberry, lightly sweet, cereal finish. Really pleasant to drink.

The most "normal" beer here, it's a sweet citrus/pith hazy that finishes pretty much exactly as it starts. Lingering alpha.

The flattest beer, almost makes me think of a nitro pour. More sour on the finish than the others. Feel murky; I got more of my stout fix from the Conejo Azteca.

Like the Alebrijes, but with the addition of roast and a little coffee. Which makes it an improvement. It's also a little more carbonated, which helps.

A little watery, accentuated by this being mostly flat. A little corn sweetness, with a slightly tart finish.

Tropical hops, fragrant and fruity, dominate the opening here. This beer is bright and crisp and dances on the tongue before resolving into a sweet cereal finish. A little bit essential-oily but it’s nice.

Toffee, butter caramel, wood. Dissipating and dry, this is a beer for sore taste buds. Wonderful.

Extremely clean-tasting pale ale; fragrant, piney, a round, non-specific fruit character that gives this a champagne character. Refreshing, easy-drinking.

Has a strong whiff of vodka right up front. This is stronger and less smooth than In Bed, although you can taste the elements in it. The roast remains and a bit of cream, but I missed that buttery finish. Also not gonna lie, I don’t taste the barrel.

A really excellent stout. Starts out a little more taster than expected, but resolves to malty, bitter caramel finish. Not sweet.

This doesn't scream peanut and it's even less distinct than in the treat, but it does seem to make the difference in cutting the sweetness of the Bar. The finish is still sweet, but it's just ever so much more interesting getting there.

Chocolate, whiskey, an unapologetically sweet finish that thankfully isn't syrupy. Sports a pretty mellow finish for such a young beer.

Thin, only lightly sweet, but with a nutty finish and some mellow cacao. It doesn't really make me think of a candy bar, but it seems all the more drinkable for it.

A chocolate-umami stout, although I wouldn't go so far as to say I tasted truffle. It's not unlike candy cap beers I've had before. Faintly sweet and flat, as one might expect from a cask.

Chocolate caramel, a bit of roast. Unsweet. Probably the most balanced beer of the bunch? But maybe, also the most expected.

Woody stout, roasty and on the verge of smoky. Just sweet enough to be interesting, but there's an unusual vegetal quality to the roast.

Medicinal, rooty, bitter. Kind of empty of body, but clean.

Cereal lager with a bit of grassy funk on the finish. Lightly vinous.

A lot. Bourbon, tobacco, coffee, fireplace. Umami, complex finish, and not necessarily in a pleasant way.

Pine-resin opening, almost over the edge on pungency, but this does resolve into a more mellow caramel finish. Fizzy, a touch sour.

Cereal sweet lager; Helles-like, with hints of apple up front and a brackish, sweet finish. Really drinkable!
