Logs for beers from this brewery

Solid export stout although it's probably not as hopped as the style might demand. It's yummy, though.
Fruity but cleanly tart, sweet cereal but not otherwise sweet or syrupy. Delicious.

Dark, apricot-y, alcoholic. What's not to like?
Bottle at Home
Quite good. It was a wedding, I honestly don't remember more.
Bottle at Home
Accidentally found this to be really good with a touch of salt

I guess they changed the name? Kind of a subdued flavor, mildly sweet, like a cream ale with a little more of an amber's malt backbone. Definitely overshadowed by the other two beers today.
A woody, sour saison with a hint of coriander and overt hop fragrance up-front. Finishes dry, tannic, with sweet cereal underneath. Complex and tasty, and I always enjoy a sour that just revels in the character of yeast rather than fruit.
Bottle at Home
Really chocolatey and poured smooth. Maybe just a tad on the sweet side for me but solid.

Normally I would never say this, but this could have been just a tad sweeter. I’m sure everyone else loves it, and I might also have loved it any other time, but for some reason I wanted something with just a tinge of sweet with the sour in cherry and this was just short of that. Also, thanks Roy and Sara!

Thanks Roy! This was a nice farmy monky-almost ale. A nice way to spend a quarantine Friday.

I second this post but read in your best pretentious theater voice: “Served in a taster at a Flanders Red tasting event. The impressive front-runner, easily going toe-to-toe with Grand Cru and Charactre Rouge. Pours a gorgeous ruby-amber with a respectable head. The nose is the strong balsalmic vinegar of Duchesse, but more balanced with dark fruits and sharp acidity. The palate, similarly, hits the high notes of Duchesse (vinegar galore), but adds further nuance with cherry and other dark fruit notes (akin actually, to Alexander). Med mouthfeel. An incredible beer. Not one I had heard of before the tasting event, and one I was exceedingly excited to try. Stands up to the best of the Flanders Red scene.“

Good!

Still very good.

Can smell vanilla but don’t taste it. Quite sour and slightly musty, smooth tart cherry finish. Like it!

Could be a little more IPA-like. Unexpectedly light and sweet. Good. I may be underrating it.
Bottle at Home
Think this is the only kolsch I’ve liked. Light, pleasant, cereal and a little funk.
Bottle at Home
Sharp tart clean nice cereal at the end
Draft
Clean and fruity, medium tart. In no way would I ever describe this as an IPA. The finish maybe lightly fragrant of hops, and maybe the hint of sweetness is lactose sugar, but there's no cloudiness or dankness as I'd expect from a "Shake IPA." Really unexpected, and quite good.
A hazy on the dry/resinous side. Grapefruit peel, no sweetness.
Weird, but somehow less offensive than the Belching Beaver from earlier today. Smells very much like Pledge, but drinks more subdued; slightly sweet, cloudy. The only real problem is the aftertaste, which has an herbal bitterness that isn't super pleasant.
Vanilla-oak & perfume-resin/frankincense-y. This was quite good and I feel bad to be drinking Mike’s one bottle without Mike. I’ll see if I can replace this bottle next time I’m in Bham. Thank you!

Friendship tastes like deliciousness!

Nicely round oak and caramel to open. More than a little piney hop but clean and balanced pretty well. Tastes less boozy than you'd expect at 11%+ ABV.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Strong example of a German pilsner, clean hop bitterness, cereal, some uric tang on the finish.
Delicious - light wood-smoke, caramel, dissipating into an incredibly clean finish.
Bleu cheese cake.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Really musty wheat funk on the nose, followed by a dry, sharp sourness. Resolves into buttery, sweetish peach notes to finish. I think I liked the plum better, but mostly because peach always feels slightly tacked on to beers (in the ones I've had so far).
Light effervescent to the point of soft bubbles. Strong peach flavor, not a lot of beer or alcohol flavor.
As solid an example of foreign extra stout as I've encountered. Dry and prickly/roasty, with a sweet coffee finish. Clean
Tart, round plum flavors (not molassesy at all, so we're talking fresh plums). Finish is notably wheaty and sweet, like breakfast cereal milk. Very pleasant.
First off, this came out much darker than I was expecting. This was basically a lightly hoppy amber ale. Didn't have any grassy funk like I enjoy in a steam beer / common ale to remind me that there are lager roots involved. Out of context this might have been fine, but I wanted something different.
Lightly spiced banana Belgian with a faintly smoky finish leading into a lager-like malt finish. A little under-carbonated, but otherwise I liked it.
Lovely smooth fruit and hops right off the bat. Finishes with a perfect rye spice. Yum!
Draft
Exactly the kind of pleasing fruity tartness I enjoy. Nice subdued raspberry flavors.
