Logs for beers from this brewery

Still mostly bitter, though not hugely. There's some flavor after you acclimate, but it's not worth it.
This is really just a very normal stout. Good, nowhere near great. Just the sort of thing you drink but don't rate.
I had a sip and had to look up what was in this, which I guess is orange. It actually tastes shockingly fake, like potpourri and anise and really feels syrupy. This on top of a thick, overly sweet stout. If the Goose Island Midnight Orange had gone very wrong, this would be it.
It's fine, sorry if pilsner-like.
Really nicely balanced hops. A fragrant almost lavender hint on the finish. Great summer brew.
Like coffee-grounds soaked apricots. And about as tasty as that sounds.
As you'd expect from Solemn Oath, this is more bitter than the standard beer of the type. But it has a strong clarity and a good backbone of malt.
Initially clear, but with a kind of brackish finish that status with you long after .
Reasonable tasty .Somewhat bitter but also with a Belgian spiciness .
Somewhat effervescent, interesting fruit tastes .A bitterness that grows long after you finish.
Tastes like a bog standard light roasty stout. Fine enough but there is no justification for this to be 11%+ or to spend your night's alcohol allotment on it.
A stout with flavor that wants to be thick but has a thin mouthfeel and maybe not enough roast to counteract the high, sweet bourbon flavor from the barrel. It was "poky" in a way that I've kind of lost my love for.
This was kind of odd man out in the flight - after a bunch of fragrant, light beers, this popped right off the bat with toasty flavors. On its own I might have been able to pick out more transitions, but this time the flavor went right to spicy rye and booze. Given that the previous beer was 10% that's saying something.
One more step amped up from the Happy Fun Beer, this has a concentrated resin flavor that comes in right at the front, with appealing wood-tang and bitterness. The finish is bitter but not excessively so. I thought this was deeply complex and liked it a lot, and definitely didn't taste like it was 10%!
Similar to the Hexafoos but with most of the Belgian-ness swapped out for distinct piney hop notes. Faint spices show through at the end.
A saison with forward banana and spice notes - very appealing - but a very dry yeastiness that kind of drains the energy out of the beer.
Hard and bitter. Not really much else there.
Though its still quite a bit better than the snaggletooth.
Part of a flight. Boy, there's a lot going on in this beer. Like drinking a pine forest soaked in aromatic bitters with a sheen of... maple? Drinkable, but puzzling. I don't know that I would get this again but I had to admire the audacity.
Part of a flight. Degenerates quickly into a puckery grapefruit followed by strong bitterness. Least favorite of the night.
Part of a flight. Light-tasting, Belgian but without overt spices, with an interesting malty, clean finish. Frighteningly drinkable on a hot day.
Part of a flight. The Belgian spices are overt in this one, with a dry, thin, dissipating flavor. Not bad, but not memorable either.
