Buttery, bitter, pine, dry.

Starts with a really tart white peach flavor, almost candy-like, but resolves into a bit of drying bitter lemon, ensuring a clean finish.

Chocolate, light roast, the flavor is good if an little murky; ends tackier than I like.

Despite the description, this is not at all fruit-forward. It feels like a somewhat hoppy Belgian pale; spicy and dry, and if there is fruit it’s more perfumey and bitter.

Maltier, more biscuity than is usual for the style. Still, if you’re in the mood for it on a beautiful day, it works very nicely.

Light, chocolate, a bright stout. Finish is buttery caramel and roast. Hints of almond? Board says “macadamia/toasted coconut” and I definitely see the former, less of the latter.

Bright raspberry flavor set against a fairly alcohol-sweet, malty blonde base. Unlike the other berry beers here this one actually tastes like a beer (not that the others aren't good, but I was in a mood). Normally this might be too sweet but it was fine in context.

Light-bodied stout but with a rich caramel/chocolate smoothness. Just a touch of Port fruitiness, good barrel character.

Looks like I had this on nitro last time. This was CO2 this time and I think maybe I’m missing the touch of sweetness nitro might have added (though I’m not getting the soapy bit). The tartness takes over somewhat, even though it’s not that pronounced. Still interesting though.

Smells of sweet chocolate, almost minty. The first taste is a bit of a shock, dry, a touch tart, and then resolves into a smooth, subdued dark chocolate. If there’s Bourbon it’s mostly showing up as sweetness. There’s a slight soapy quality from the nitro but otherwise a nice light stout.

Slightly resinous hop smell, bitterness up front. Really nice blueberry fruitiness leads into a kind of caramel amber / hop perfume finish. Finishes clean. Just a tiny bit disappointed the beer is not blue.
