Thick, syrupy. Quite strong.

Unusually dark, latticed head, although apparently opinions differ? Chocolate, toffee, stone fruit, very smooth but also a touch tart. Delicious but tacky.

After the Sir Isaac this tasted like a moderately-but-not-too-sweet Almond Joy-esque candy bar. After the Hoppin' Honey this somehow didn't taste very alcoholic despite being stronger. Weird day, but I really loved this one.

Very caramel apple. It's quite sweet, but very surprisingly, appropriately sweet. Very much recalls apple brandy.

Bright, just on the edge of dry, IPA. Strong but not overwhelming bitterness. I think an IPA aficionado would like it even more.

Sweet without being syrupy, graham cracker and biscuity. Fruity?

… and an even straighter stout. It’s not as sweet as the Kali Ma, but it is on the sweet (cocoa? butter?) side. I had somewhat hoped for at least one beer today to be firmly in the humorless roasty category but looks like I didn’t choose well for that.

Good as always, but wasn't going to live up to the pure enjoyability of the pumpkin beer.

Dry rather than juicy, this is kind of like sucking on a grapefruit for too long. In particular I think the passionfruit overwhelms here. Nice bit of cereal finish for the first few sips before it gets drowned out.

Medium-light stout/brown ale base, with clean but sharp rye whiskey notes reminding you this is an event beer. I don't think the flavor ever really melded harmoniously for me, which kind of keeps this from being in the top tier; maybe the beer didn't have the body to stand up to the barreling.

Just a super solid porter. Roasty, medium bodied, nice, slightly acidic but smooth-finishing coffee on top.

Starts smooth and very tasty for a new vintage of BBIS, surprisingly so, but kind of loses its lustre through the course of a glass. The alcohol is very pokey and is quite dominant over time. Might need some aging.

Crystal clear, with rich cereal flavor, but quite bitter. A brackish, hard-water quality to the mouthfeel doesn't help a whole lot.

This... wasn't bitter at all? It tasted awesome. I don't know if my taste buds were burnt after two strong beers, but this just tasted light, sweet, and unexpectedly refreshing.

Pretty good, hazy grapefruit-citrus. Spicy rye on top and a somewhat bitter finish. I liked it, but it wasn't as good as the beer that came before it or the one that came after.

Sweet and vegetal, about where you start asking the question: “how hazy is too hazy?” At least it’s not bitter.

Like drinking a spruce tree. Very bitter finish.

Quite good, wish I had my wits about me.

Ends like the Misguided Youth but the start is more bitter.

Starts the same as the summer IPA but gets resinous fast.

This is... not much like the regular Crikey! at all. Super hazy, thick and juicy. Smells super dank but the flavor is much more balanced - I think the resin is there but it's just balanced out enough by the tang and citrus. Liked this one a lot.

Caramel-butterscotch and whiskey, fairly smooth. Some fire to keep it interesting. This is a very fine strong barrel aged beer.

Very cognac, alcohol strength and roast is subdued, making this better than the regular '19 BBIS.

Round and bright fruit flavor, mostly orange-like citrus. Crystal clear, nice to have a straight IPA for once. Not bitter, very refreshing. Great beer.

A yeasty wit with a balanced but strong holiday spice character. Smooth, buttery, kind of like drinking a ginger snap cookie.

Hoppy pumpkin spice smell and taste. Slight misalignment on hop profile to the category, but otherwise an enjoyable take on this seasonal.

Fresh hop smell, fragrant and pleasant. Unboring evergreen hops flavor with something like banana going on there.

Much more bitter than I remember. Otherwise a very solid porter.

Fast cereal middle and lingering spicy hops.

Really nice.

Light pumpkin spice, caramel amber. Thin body but quite pleasant.

Disappointingly mediocre offering from this brewery.

Loaded with mango and jasmine. Solid on the bitterness. Very good.

Juicy as you'd expect, but this tasted more like juice than beer. A bit of malt but otherwise a bit like grapefruit juice with a touch of roundness from pomegranate. I thought it was worse for the wear.

Fruity, caramel, metallic, bready, poky alcohol. Thesaurus me, bro.

Fairly roasty. Peppermint was subtle.

Similar flavor to Pumking, custard and pastry. Maybe slightly more fruit and a darker, more caramel flavor. Slightly bitter finish.

First fresh hop beer of the season! Super fresh-tasting. You guys, this was so, so bitter. But I actually think I liked it, in spite of. Because, you know, fresh. Also Reuben's. I write good.

Weird smell, like a funky, musty Plum. Fruit-forward, strangely bitter, burnt flavor. Not great.

Lots of bubblegum and pine hop sheen; on the sweet side. Dry wood resin mixed with maybe some lager funk, clean finish. Not bitter. Pretty darn good result of an unlikely collaboration; maybe a rarity now that Redhook has broken the commercial brewing contract.

Fruit-forward IPA with a medium resinous body. Finish isn't too bitter, though; so while this is still not exactly my style of IPA it's recognizably good.

Very solid gose with a non-fruity sourness, fairly tart, with a lightly-sweetish wheat funk and salty finish. Really nice flavors.

Very similar in flavor profile to the Sea Witch, but with a smoother nitro finish. For a nitro beer, pretty good.

Dry Irish Stout flavor. Roasty with some slight sourness. Lactic, smooth pumpkin quality. Pretty good!

Wow, this place is hopping! Note for next time, the pork sliders are really delicious. And giardinera! (The beer was good too, but we've already reviewed this one)

Strong fragrant peachy hop smell with. Thinner taste start than expected given the smell, finished with a fine roastiness. Mild bitter linger.

Medium tart, plenty of salt on the tongue. Lots of wheat funk. Finishes really clean with a pleasant flavor, like a slice of hot buttered toast.

Nice coffee flavors.

Very fruity and light. Very light bitterness for an ipa. Tropical fruits, pineapple, citrus.

This was really quite good, although I can't remember it outright. :/

Actually like this pumpkin one. The spices are actually pleasant.

A pithy IPA, but with a nice bit of fruit. Not my style, but it was surprisingly better than "for science" would have predicted.

Starts creamy, like an oatmeal pale, but dries out quickly, revealing some alcohol in the flavor. Finishes with some abrupt resins and woody bitterness. Unusual and disjointed.

Not at all what I expect from a brown ale. Its leaning more towards a light coffee flavor. Lacking the dry hop flavor I am expecting.

Slightly sour, with a unfiltered beer taste to it. Not my favorite.

Tons of orange and coconut on the nose. Finishes with coconut and hops.

This stout has made me a believer in stouts. Subtle chocolate and coffee notes at the finish. Yum.

Fresh brought IPA smell. Lingering resinous bitterness but a roasty malt character continues further.

This is actually most like a pumpkin infused latte. There is a hint of stout, but it is almost completely masked by the coffee

Smooth dark roasted smell with some vinegar elements. Fine hopped presence, and roasted peppery cereal taste.

Touch of funk with some yeast tanginess and bubblegum. Light and summery, but doesn't nearly approach the heights of the kölsch.

Creamy with good dry coffee stout flavor and a light texture. No nitro weirdness but the almost total lack of carbonation was a minus.

A cream ale with coffee. Understandably the beer is a little overbalanced, but it's not totally misguided. The coffee is good and berry-like, but the overall combination didn't win me over.

Toasty for an altbier, almost like toasted sesame on first taste. Good, dry caramel tang. Finishes bitter, but fairly nice.

Beautiful tang, bit of funk, delicious cereal malt body. I don't know from authentic, but this is about as perfect a summer beer as I could ask for.

Liquid banana bread.

More rye!

I'm not gonna lie, I had enough before this that I can't rate this reliably. But it seemed good, and I like Reuben's.

Seems like a fairly standard stout. Bitter with a hint of sweet underneath.

Don't follow a really roasty beer with this or it'll come off as too sweet at first. In comparison to the Survival stout, this seemed almost unroasted. It recovered quickly, though. Much mellower; almost fruity, but still very nice.

Manages to straddle the line between creamy and roasty very well. A touch of bitterness on the finish, but really, really enjoyable overall.

Some acidic bite on start, smooth malt and oaty body and tiny bit of sweetness on the finish.

A tasty medium-bodied porter with very nice coffee notes and a clean finish. Manages to be roasty without being unpleasantly bitter or sour. Another winner!

Has a pleasant smooth roastiness with a bit of sourness.

This is what a light beer should be.

Smells like a Belgian beer, tastes totally different. Malty with a mild hops finish.

Smells pleasant. Tastes lightly malty/corn, and finishes just subtly sweet. Great burger beer.
