Logs for beers from this brewery

This was not going to compare well with everything else from tonight, let's be realistic.
Bottle at Raman's
Almost pilsner-y . Bitter, fairly clear .Rather nice.
Smells rather hoppy but the taste runs a bit more towards the syrupy end.
A very clean, bright coffee flavor in a medium-thick porter. Thin out Sump by several factors and you might get this. Smooth finish, with no trace of burn or sourness. I liked this one a lot.
Starts smooth, though becomes more bitter. Yadda yadda.
Bottle at Work
Nothing special, roasted malt and not much else. Decently dry.
Can at Home
Light and summery, with a good hint of spice.
Bottle at A Friend's
Good, but feels like the younger sibling of Mephistopheles in every way possible. I found out the next day that this claims to be a bourbon-aged stout, but I couldn't for the life of me detect that.
As if someone combined a bud light and a bottle of apple juice. Which is only slightly less gross than it sounds
Started out nicely, light Belgian kick and some fruit. Then the alcohol started kicking in, and boy, it kept kicking. After a while I couldn't taste anything else. I wonder if some of that was the aging.
Sweet honey smell with a bit of prune/date. Taste continues with a salty plum finish.
Has an excellent fragrance and tastes great.
Nice and rich, caramel and straw with a touch of sweetness, a lot like a super-strong Scotch Ale. Strong bourbon and barrel character rounds it out. It's not the smoothest beer, but there's a lot to like.
Did not follow well upon the New Belgium Somersault. Still, I think I could at least sense what I liked about it last time.
A rich caramel-malty beer with a nice fizzy mouthfeel. Tastes like a winter warmer, I thought.
Bottle at Work
Not hugely memorable, but it did have a nice dry, crisp flavor with good malt and a bit of grassy twang at the end. I imagine it would have been perfect in the summer.
Bottle at Home
Too light. Likely good for drinking at the lake, as it was described.
Has a nice apple crispness and the sweet finish to a strong beer. I liked it a lot
Great round apple fragrance out of the bottle and on the cork, which set me up nicely. The flavor was surprisingly smooth for so strong a beer, like a mellow barley wine crossed with a hefeweizen, with some apple honey cider character thrown in for good measure.
Smells slightly like a fizzy apple-juice box. Nice clean taste and finish though alcohol taste comes forward as a result. Very slight bitter crunch/edge makes it interesting and nice carbonation.
