Logs for beers from this brewery

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.
"Musty," "sour," not sure those words from earlier logs are applicable here, but this was kind of watery and unremarkable.
Light, malty, honestly it's tasty if uninspiring.
Bottle at Family
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?
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.
Decent macro-style lager with a mineral, dry (but not tacky) finish. Bit of a spicy hop presence.
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
Some malt flavor. Smooooooth
Nitro Draft at Wilde Rover, Kirkland
I keep forgetting that Guinness isn't usually worth buying.
I was too lazy to go where they had beer I really wanted...
Bottle at Home
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.
Slightly sour back taste, thin body.
Not as bad as the -26 that was predicted
The only stout in the entire stadium...
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)
