Logs for beers from this brewery

So, I find myself having to try these, but I'm beginning to think that bourbon tends to accentuate only the parts of IPAs that I hate - the kind of bubblegummy sweetness, and pithy, sharp bitter finishes. And this seems like a big, bitter IPA to start with. Any hope of a balancing cereal body or subtle fragrance are obliterated by the booze.
Sharper soap smell, that fragrance of the hops. Tangy bitter finish doesn't mix well with the cereal body.
