Logs for beers from this brewery

A little too dry for me. The others in my group were wild about it.
A sweet and spicy Hefe. It's actually pretty good as just a drinking beer. Actually, it gets cloying after awhile. I'm dropping the rating.
Bottle at Family
80% for the corned beef, 20% for me.
Bottle at Home
Very solid, first time on draft. Slightly sour, dry, smooth. Exactly what you'd expect from an English stout.
Slightly sour smell and taste. Peach flavors, some grain flavors, fruity.
Smells strongly of sweet stonefruit. Flavor is more malty, a little one-dimensional, but pleasant enough to drink. Finish is a bit yeasty and astringent.
Solid standard sweet stout with a clear... English character to it? Thin, with a touch of finishing tartness?
Medium-thin brown porter with a dry touch of toffee and roasted barley flavor. A hint of that grassy-sour funk typical of some British dark beers. Easy drinking, nutty, and flavorful.
A very balanced bitter, light fruity malt flavor start and leads to a minor bitterness that makes the finish more or less neutral.
Bottle at Home
Smooth, no huge taste up front but leads to a smooth mocha and toffee flavor with a slightly sweet finish.
Bottle at Home
Rich and creamy. Toffee, roasted malts, some chocolate, A definite tanginess which I haven't seen before in such an earthy ale.
Bottle at Home
Nut and caramel aroma. On the palate, lots of toffee and nut flavors. Finish is very nutty. Flavors aren't really that deep but it does deliver as a nut brown ale.
Bottle at Home
A really smooth, almost sweet roasted malt smell. Roasted malts, vanilla, and oatmeal on the palate with a perfect amount of bittering hops to make sure there's no overpowering malt funk. Finish has a great hit of vanilla and oatmeal. A lot of stouts focus on the flavor on the palate and are utterly unremarkable on the finish, one of this beer's strengths is how solidly it finishes. Absolutely delicious, for sure the benchmark.
Bottle at Home
If chocolate milk were beer, it would taste like this. This stout puts the chocolate in chocolate stout. I happen to like chocolate, so that's A-OK, but know what you're getting into... there's not much "stout" to it.
Bottle at Home
Constantly one of my favorites
Bottle at Ohio
Standard cider taste, apple-y, with a clean tack-free finish. A bit of bitterness at the end.
Bottle at Home
Just like a strong whiff of Swiss Miss, all cocoa and milk powder on top of a slightly sour, thin stout. Drinkable, but kind of tacked on in the way some of Southern Tier's more over-the-top beers are.
Smells strongly of the chocolate powder dust that kicks up after pouring a packet into a mug. Interesting taste mix between chocolate and malts which results in a sort of banana-y-malt. Tastes sweet but without being tacky, syrupy, or cloying, which I appreciate.
