Logs for beers from this brewery

Extremely creamy pour. Lightly sweet, caramel cream ale with just a hint of cold fizz at the end. Perfect for what I wanted.
Nitro Draft at J. J. Mahoney's Irish Pub, Redmond

Yo, it's a Guinness. More than anything, we just needed something to reset the palate after the chilies.
Nitro Can at Odin Lounge

Better than my memory of this. Still a little prickly and bitter, but a smooth chocolate roast evens it out. Most of it was going to go into the corned beef anyway.
Bottle at Home

Lightly sweet, cola like. Could be fizzier, maybe? Aftertaste is a bit cloying.
Draft at J. J. Mahoney's Irish Pub, Redmond

"Musty," "sour," not sure those words from earlier logs are applicable here, but this was kind of watery and unremarkable.
Draft at J. J. Mahoney's Irish Pub, Redmond

Very light, smooth from nitro, but a pleasant, light flavor. Like other nitro cream ales (think Hale's) but with a touch more caramel.
Nitro Draft at Thirsty Hop, Kirkland

This was for the corned beef, but I "accidentally" drank it first.
Nitro Bottle at Home

Gross, musty sour lager flavor. I don't remember it being like this the last time. Maybe it was bad?
Draft at Malt & Vine, Redmond

Sour and flat, with very little recovery in the finish. Took a hit for St. Patrick's day.
Nitro Draft

Very annoying bitterness that doesn't not contribute to the beer and that keeps building up. No other complementary flavors to mellow the bitterness.
Bottle

Tastes like the Guinness bundt I had on St. Patrick's Day, with a malty bitter chocolate and sweetish cake flavor. It's not a bad beer, but let's just say it's much better as a cake.
Bottle at Microsoft Studio B, Redmond

Decent macro-style lager with a mineral, dry (but not tacky) finish. Bit of a spicy hop presence.
Draft at Paddy Coynes Irish Pub, Bellevue

Man why did you tell me this reminds you of soy sauce? No but seriously this particular pint was particularly soy saucey...
Nitro Draft at Lucky Strike, Bellevue

Definitely smooth. I mean I hate to draw Guinness into it but in my mind this is basically a lighter smoother Guinness for when the mood doesn't call for the dark brooding... Reticence of the stout.
Nitro Draft at O'Donnell's, Seattle


I keep forgetting that Guinness isn't usually worth buying.
Nitro Draft at George & Dragon Pub, Seattle


A watery black lager without much character except for a thin caramel malty sweetness and just the most infinitesimal roasty bitterness on the end. If you mixed this with cola it would probably taste exactly like... cola.
Bottle at Home

It does not taste like what I have come to expect from a Guinness.
Bottle tasting at Odin Lounge




Just gross. Weirdly sour, with a weird, sweet, herbal-grassy overtone. Yuck.
Bottle at Xbeer One

Much less good than Guinness Draught... not a fan
Bottle at Picnicking in Amman ;), Murphy's Pub (Amman)
