Logs for beers from this brewery

Bitter chocolate, caramel, just a hint of tartness as bitterness subsides. Brackish finish.
Draft
Juicy, and quite definitely primarily pineapple juice. IPA is kind of like the secondary personality here, though it shows up by providing a bit of dry bitterness at the end.
Very light, cola-like, maybe my palate was off balance but I could detect no roast whatsoever. Lightly fruity but not sweet. Felt like this needed a bit more "milkiness" to feel like a schwarzbier.
Slightly watery, wet prune/hay flavor. Sweet but ends clean, probably because it’s so dilute.
Light, lightly fruity with caramel, somewhat strong bitterness. Barrel is kind of a light overtone rather than a heavy weight.
Actually a pretty balanced IPA and less unusual than the other beers here. That said, this is definitely an alpha hop bomb and not my type of IPA.
Way more juicy than I expected, tropical fruit, dank, rooty notes, and light hop resin. Interesting, but frankly not what I was looking for when I ordered a rye beer.
Not the smoothest nitro beer, with some still-hunt carbonation, but this is a good thing. Light body but enough roast to poke through the nitro sourness and balance things out nicely.
Strong banana , light clove... Very traditional hefe flavors although this is on the sweeter side for sure. Slightly watery.
A sweet, edge-of-bubblegum grassy hop sheen dominates all of the beers here, but most noticeably in this cask pour. Round, white grape flavor to start. Somewhat soapy.
