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.

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.

Somewhat savory-tasting stout; don't remember much about it but I did like it in spite of the fact that it didn't taste like what I expected.

A little thinner than I remember, but really solid. Booze, chocolate, thin mouthfeel. And after all that, booze again.

Oh my cuke. This is interesting, almost savory; vegetal, pickley, but certainly something you may not want to have 6 full ounces of.

A little more yeasty/sour than I expected. Wish this was crisper for a sunny day out.

Sweet, pungent, tropical - grapefruit and guava, very juicy. Low bitterness except for a resinous undertone. Maybe a little too pungent to love, though?

Still great but wow is it smoky. I may be misremembering but it seems a lot smokier than last time.

Lots of caramel, some cherry notes from the wood, booze. This is kind of what I would have expected a barrel aged scotch ale to taste like (but we all know that what that beer is here is something different).

Amber, malty, with smooth hop flavors, but if this is an IPA, all the rough edges seem to have been smoothed out by the barrel. There is a lot of evident booze, though.

Doesn't really yell IPA. The gin is subtle; there's a slight white grape / brett-like dry funk and some vanilla from the wood. Reminds me of my memory of Pour les Oiseaux from Black Raven - really, really delicious.

Caramel, dry, very tasty. Did I burn out my taste buds? No idea. But I liked this. Very successful brewery visit!

Classic barrel aged ale, thin texture, spicy from the rye. More conformist than the Manumission but also more easily enjoyable IMO.

Light, immediately maltier than a standard Mexican lager. Light butterscotch notes, not super-boozy but you can tell something's going on in that direction. Caramel.

Tastes like a peated whisky. Not sweet, somewhat thin in body, but if you like Scotch, this is Scotchy. I like Scotch. (edit: Laphroaig!)

Roast, a bit of dried fruit tartness and rum, but the overall sense is one that's less sweet than you'd expect. Complex and boozy.

Decent enough is the best description I can give here. The amount of coconut is right and it’s on top of a medium-bodied porter that is not too dark and not too sweet. There’s a little bit of sourness over time that isn’t ideal.

Found cans at Humble Pie and couldn't pass up a new local coconut beer. After trying one, it's a cereal-y porter. Coconut maybe somewhere? I mean, not bad, but maybe I was expecting more? Maybe I drink too many IPAs so porters are boring?
