Logs for beers from this brewery

This was really quite good. Slightly fruity with a nice bit of a toasted malt flavor. I should have taken better notes but I got a growler of this so I'll be able to share more later.
A nearly opaque hazy; looks and smells like POG with an emphasis on guava. Description says mango but I didn't really taste that. Dry finish.
Another pleasant surprise of an ESB; not quite as good as Geaux's Gris Gris but with many similar qualities. Nutty, caramel, slightly more on the hop profile but finishes smooth.
Basically your average American hefe. Perfectly drinkable but completely easy to forget given the other beers of the evening.
It's clear right away that this is absolutely not a pilsner. Smells and tastes very much like a Hall's lemon herb cough drop, with maybe a touch of bubblegum. Very perfumey, with a tongue-coating oiliness, and very much not good. It's been a long time, but the closest analogue I can come up with is the Williams Bros. Alba ale.
Leads with fruity/floral hops and finishes slightly bitter and spicy. Quite a hop presence for a pilsner, but lighter than the hop presentation in Joe's from Avery.
Can at Home
The excessive carbonation attempts to hide the burnt coffee.
Chemistry defying ability to generate head from small pours.
Thick, malty, burnt. And So. Much. Head.
Some nice grassiness in the smell, but also some out-of-place perfume and not enough malt to even it out. Hints of apple? Ends high, dry and bitter.
Real pleasant cereal body that ends well with a moderate bitterness at then end that doesn't stick around longer than it should.
Light roast smell. Good roast taste with a unadulterated bitter edge and finish. No resinous tackiness.
Okay, I'm sold that draft is definitely the way to have this one. It's still good out of the can, but the coconut is faint at best.
Can at Xbeer One
I liked this before, but lots more toasted coconut & coffee character out of the tap means even more like.
More coconut flavor on draft, yes! The canned version has more of the roasted chocolate taste but the draft version has more coconut body, more middle flavor, and less overall bitterness. The coconut is a pleasant roasted coconut sheen with some follow through on the finish.
If you take a good chocolate and remove all traces of sweetness. But barely any coconut.
Bottle at Home
Smells like a dark chocolate coconut candy bar and tastes about the same. That's not bad! I like those candy bars. This is a light-bodied stout that goes down easily but lacks the kind of bite I enjoyed in Maui's CoCoNut Porter. It's more kind of one-note sweet. All the flavors rang true and for a dessert-beer kind of situation, I'd happily have this again.
Coconut a la Almond Joy in the second half of the taste and in the smell. Thin taste profile with some metallic twang at the end-- almost watery. Some roasted bitterness present.
Good. A little too much roast flavor. Would've preferred more coconuttyness.
Nice Oktoberfest flavor, with some metallic tang and some bare alcohol. Wanted more malt to fend off bitterness at the finish, but overall, I liked it.
Ashes. Just about exactly like drinking ashes.
