Logs for beers from this brewery

A robustly flavored lager, lightly sweet, rich cereal, grassy, brackish finish. Very tasty.
Drinking away our job security blues. Good beer, layoffs can bite me.
Very good blonde; opens with a round fruitiness, vaguely apple/strawberry? Very quickly transitions to a buttery cereal with more than a little funk. I liked this a lot.
Bit of toffee and vague nut flavor, reminded me faintly of a butterfinger. Not bad but a little bit timid, and the beer got flat very quickly as well. My memory of King Size from the same brewery was more positive; I'd like to compare these head to head at some point.
Can at Home
Tastes exactly like a Butterfinger. At least for this flavor combination, more successful than a lot of other attempts (and I appreciate a candy bar that isn't yet another Almond Joy / Mounds thing).
Can at Home
I've never had a beer that had a more orange juice-like flavor than this one. Exactly as fruity and tart as juice right up front. This transitions into more of a yeasty, estery finish, and the vanilla comes in here as well. Pulls off the creamsicle flavor pretty well, although in a more "naturally flavored" way than I'm used to.
Backwoods The Stumbler (unknown release)
Woody, strong stout, Slightly sour and boozy, the latter quality not coming through more as pure alcohol than whiskey. Otherwise it was drinkable, but nothing's going to distinguish this beer in a strong field.
Rye is more smoke than spice. The beer is still agreeable without the expected burn.
Smells very sweet, like you'd expect, but the flavor is much less so. Good roast, good overtone of pecan pie / molasses flavor. Very drinkable.
A light, cola-like brown but with just the right amount of smooth, caramel sweetness. A model easy brown ale, I think.
Bright pine hop smell, smooth medium body and pleasant and slightly spicy hop finish. Cinnamon hints to finish.
Bottle
Someone mixed a piney IPA with bitter lemon soda. The effect is, unfortunately, a bit Lemon Pledge. Intermittent prickles too, which is a bit like what I imagine drinking something mildly poisonous is like.
Refresing and well rounded, the blueberry flavors are present but not as much as in the Kitty Kat blues.
Round, overt blueberry on the nose. Flavor-wise it is quite clear as well, but goes into a bit of a uric tang - but in a good way? It's not as interesting as the Kitty Kat Blues, but still very tasty.
A fruity non-hop forward IPA with a smooth front and a slightly pine finish. Very refreshing.
Bottle
Mango wheat smell. Thin body with almost unbalanced bitter tedious character.
Bottle
Mild flavor profile, has a fizzy acidic quality on the finish.
As good as a Stout can get without aging or tricks.
