Logs for beers from this brewery

This is interesting. There's an even caramel undertone that reminds me of Bourbon barrel aged beers, except that it's not offensive to me. There's some interesting spice and, you guessed it, sweet potato undertones as well. Pretty good.
Bottle at Home
Definitely blueberries with an undertone of coffee. Fairly nicely balanced unless you're looking for a roasty bean flavor from your stout. This is more like wet beans and blueberry skins. I'm not sure if I'm selling this or not.
I think maybe it was too flat when I got it, which probably didn't help, but it did get me up close with the flavors. Quite roasty-sour, a bit much, with some chocolate on top and a ashy coffee finish. Medium-thin texture. I'd like to try this again under more ideal circumstances.
Bottle at Work
Wet hay seems to be a theme today. I don't know if the Alaskan killed my palate, or if this is just how these beers are. Wet hay sweet blonde.
