Logs for beers from this brewery

Bitter, but pretty tasty. It dragged after a while, so I reduced it from a solid to decent.
Cold refreshing with this of fruity malt flavor that I can't identify.
Very smooth, thick, dark stout. Light taste of wood and caramel, no overt liquor. The most impressive aspect of this beer was just how smooth it was.
Started this beer with the Cubs tied and a rain delay. It tasted okay. Finished with the Cubs as world champions. It tasted great! Pretty good lager in the Sam Adams mold. Full flavored.
Can at Home
Same beer in a Stovepipe can instead of a 12 oz. It was canned only two months apart from the other, but the flavor was definitely different, interestingly enough. This one was slightly more ashy in flavor, overroasted, but still very good. Just different.
I liked this a lot. A creamy mellow coffee porter with an extremely clean finish. The aftertaste was... I can't remember what I thought about it exactly, but it was... soothing?
Strong unnatural coconut flavor, like eating a Bounty or Almond Joy. I like it because coconut.
Very smoothed out roasted stout flavor with a fair bit of complexity. Hard to identify the side flavors in here, but cacao was probably the dominant one. No detectable sourness. I don't typically like this beer, but aging really helps it.
Much better on nitro than I remember out of the can, but then again you expect a kind of flatness on nitro. Pleasant, sweet, caramel, and very creamy. Definitely a beer-mustache kind of glass. Twenty ounces disappeared in a hurry (which given its strength, might be dangerous)!
Nitro Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond
Disappointing given its reputation. Thick, but has the astringent sourness of a bad stout. Especially doesn't fare well after the Serpent Stout, although that isn't exactly fair.
Basically in India Pale Lager, with some additional rye spice and a touch of wheat sweetness in effect. Way too hoppy for me, though. Piney and super-bitter on the finish.
Can at Home
Smooth on the palate, no real leaning sweet vs. hoppy but hints of both malt sweetness and saaz hops. I prefer something a little spicier.
Can at Home
Hazelnut, roasted malt, chocolate (in that order) on the palate. Sweet but not heavy/funky finish. A bit more bittering hops would have cleaned up the finish a bit which I would like, but they due market this as an ode to malts so it accomplishes it's goal. Sits between a stout and a true scotch ale flavor wise, pretty yummy though!
Can at Home
Super-smoothed out and sweet on nitro with a lot of sweet malt. No detectable hops or bitterness, which I guess is kind of the strategy when highlighting a rare grain. 8% ABV is seriously stealth. Unusual and noteworthy, if not especially delicious.
Nitro Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond
Big citrus hit up front, a minor bit of bitterness on the back end. One of the hoppiest-leaning pale's I've had, but no resinous character at all. Good stuff
Can at Poolside
Solid well rounded IIPA
Draft at Restaurant
Lots of Belgian spice, coriander and cinnamon, with a bit of apricot-like fruit character. Not bad, but not really my cup of tea, and too one-note to overcome that.
I think I'm getting the hang of this pilsner thing. This one had just enough grassy funk in the fragrance that I knew it'd have that nice nutty transition in the middle, without making it smell gross. Some nice malt. A little bitter at the end, but nothing excessive.
Solid, smooth, but fairly unremarkable roasty stout.
Nitro Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond
Floral, hoppy, and bitter like an IPA but with a strong malt presence as well. Some fruitiness & a clean finish but I'm still not used to beers this bitter - working my way up.
Can at Home
Like drinking an opened growler of a better Scotch Ale on the second day. The basic flavor is fine, but everything feels unpleasantly flat out of the can.
Like rum and coke, minus the rum. And a little flat.
