Logs for beers from this brewery

Drinking a campfire, but in a good way. Lightly caramel, sweet, smoky, but completely balanced.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Light wood-smoke, not overwhelming, with a caramel/malty Vienna lager character about it. I'd love to compare it to other Aecht Schlenkerla rauchbiers but it's been a very long while since I've tried one.
Can at Home
Very smooth bready doppelbock, light banana but otherwise super-mellow. The rest of the flavor is wood-smoke, very strong. I liked it but others had issues with the intensity of the smoke.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Has the typical Helles sweetness but with a decent amount of smoke (they say this isn't made with smoked malt, but it's actually smokier than some that are). Medium bitterness on the end, but this isn't exactly crisp - the smoke and sweetness interact to create a slightly sticky finish - but it's quite tasty.
My review is the exact same as last time. This is the most wonderful thing in the world to sit and smell, but I never want to drink any again. Why the hell can't they just make a scented bag or candle?
This had an amazing smoky flavor .I have a co-worker who gets a whole pig a few times a year, and butchers and smokes it himself .I got a cut of bacon from him once that was to fire for .This is what it smelled like. However, this beer just tastes like the smoky smell, it's completely overwhelming. So, a wonderful thug to smell, mediocre to drink
Moderate wood-smoke flavor on top of a chewy but dry märzen base. Some folks didn't like the smoke at all, but this was - I thought - a good example of a balanced smoked beer. What surprised me the most was the strong bitterness that closed, which I didn't enjoy. The rest was decent, though.
Ok this is EXACTLY like drinking a Lagavulin 16 in beer form. Which is a good thing. Just short of awesome.
Really smoky, kind of just tastes like liquid smoke. Not quite sure why that's appealing.
Bottle at Home
Quite funky. Very interesting as well, the smoked malts are quite obvious and present and the wheat funkiness + smoke is an interesting combination. I would exactly call it pleasant though...
Bottle at Home
Perfectly balanced lager - enough malty sweetness to make it tasty but enough bitterness to keep it crisp.
