Quite a prickly stout, very roasted, with poky hops. Could pass for a particularly roasty CDA. The bitterness is strong, and lingers.

Brackish texture, clean, crisp flavor, a finish that has both surprising body and even a slightly toasted flavor.

Thick, malty, somewhat sweet. A big change of pace in this flight that maybe would benefit from a little space.

An extrapolation of the Tony. Very solid, clean flavors. Tiny touch of bubblegum at the front.

Light, bready/biscuity flavors, but not especially malty. Nice, dry, fizzy finish obscures a bit of funk.

Lightly sweet underneath. Grassy. Bitter on top. I liked this a lot.

You can definitely tell the family resemblance in this. Bready, a bit spicy, but clean, bright, almost metallic. Still, this was the most normie beer of the flight.

Hazy dry with a prickly carbonation that heats up the back of throat almost like ginger.

A dry hoppy saison, actually not that different from the rice lager but with less funk and a little more bite.

Super clean, fragrant, lightly dry, faint funk.

Caramel amber lager. The server said this was in the vein of a Sam Adams, and it may start that way but finishes surprisingly hoppy and very bitter. Obviously I want something to be more assertive than a Sam Adams but this didn't do it in a way I particularly enjoyed.

Fairly tart, yeasty saison. Unidentifiably fruity with some phantom spice notes. Dry, clean finish. I didn't love it, but Firestone Walker set the bar really high for this weekend.

Boozy opening. Finishes like sweet chocolate candy.
