Dark and mellow with a lot of chocolate/caramel and a touch of molasses. There's a certain kind of tacky tartness that all these beers today had in common, which is a nice familial touch - but it is tacky.

A sweetish barleywine with some caramel or wood-vanilla notes. Pretty good but I only had a splash.

"An oaked version of our 10th anniversary beer (8.9% - 24 IBUs)" This isn't a huge leap from the non-oaked version; the main difference is up front where there's a bit of woody bitterness/complexity that takes the place of that first approach of chocolate. I think this is a slight preference although it is a little less evocative of the cake.

Exactly as described - notes of fudge, lightly tart cherry, a "juicy" liquor flavor. Over time the tartness gets a little more dominant and does linger a bit.

My palate is in a different place today. Mostly this is the same but instead of ginger it tastes more genetically rooty and maybe I’m imagining it, but more of a briny flavor.

Clean, tart pomegranate flavor with just a bit of funk and cereal sweetness in the end. This is in contrast to the blood orange sour which was really musty up front.

Caramel and mellow up front but has a bracing grassy bitterness. I think I might slightly prefer it with coffee but it’s very nice.

Cola-like spice and mouthfeel; coffee, light notes of ginger. Finish is sweet-ish, somewhere between the coffee ESB and the rye. Not sure I"m connecting with it, but it is unique.

Caramel, slightly medicinal with notes of licorice and caraway (?). Sweet finish that tastes slightly like the vapor off of a cough drop.

Curious to try the base beer. This is nice, if a little dominated by the coffee. Unsweet, slightly tangy, dry finish. Solidly drinkable.

Bitter up-front, lightly brackish. Slight notes of apple with a cereal finish. Uric. I like this one quite a lot!
