Thin, unsweet stout with forward spice. It is pretty much accurate although I’m pretty sure the gingerbread version of this made for a more enjoyable beer.

Mildly sour up-front with a floral candy sweetness coming in later. It's not syrupy or thick, more like sucking on a sour hard candy over time.

Fudgy cream stout, sweet with a slightly sour finish. What knocks this down is something off in the fragrance, at odds with the flavor.

Back to not tasting the gochujang (yes, the same 4-pack), though it does sneak in on the aftertaste.

Ultra-thin mouthfeel and translucent, brown. This doesn’t scream “stout” although it is fairly roasty. Tastes like coconut candy without much toasted character… wish this had more body. This is like a soda.

I think I"m going to upgrade this to delicious. A light chocolate flavor, dark, with definite notes of gochujang in the mix. A really inspired combination.

Hints of pear applesauce, sweet puree; ginger, nutmeg. It’s sweet up-front with a muted tart-funk follow-through. The aftertaste is sweet cereal.

Lemony and pungent, although it finishes quite clean. There’s a medicinal quality to the aftertaste.

Very nicely balanced, roasty stout. There's a vegetal/earthy coffee base here with a sweet cream finish. I don't know if you can taste purple, but aside from that (this just looks like a stout) it did make me think of an ube latte for sure.

Unlike last time I very clearly tasted the taro in this, which was super interesting. That said, there was also a very strong, musty smell about it which wasn't at all carried through to the flavor but was somewhat off-putting.

It has nice, Thai character, star anise, clove, coriander? But I've been making a lot of homemade phở lately, and I can't help but think of phở broth when I drink this, which isn't a great association. There's also a quality of Orange Crush too.

Clean, unsweet lager. A little bit of a metallic tang. Not sure I was able to identify any taro.

Probably influenced by the wide swath of flavors in today's tasting, but I definitely tasted the gochujang this time. It's still good, although it's definitely more eyebrow-raising.

A very enjoyable light dry chocolate stout, and while there's just a hint of light gochu in the aftertaste which turns into a lingering heat, there is little to no discernible jang.

Apparently better than the last time I tried this. Cloudy-tasting with a bit of sweet funk.

Extremely light, nominally sweet, refreshing rice lager. Not crisp, but mellow.

Light and non sweet with an overtone of molasses and spice. Perfect for what I needed. Cookie-like.

Not sure if this is different than the previously logged Peanut Butter Porter? This has roast up front but the peanut butter is very light. It comes through after a few sips, though. Finishes with vanilla rather than nuttiness.

Round, raspberry flavor at the front, with bitter mellowing black tea on the finish. The mango shows through at the end, too.

Very fruity.

Spice forward, thin body, cola-like. Reminds me more of a root beer or a birch beer than gingerbread.

Starts like a typical pine citrus IPA, takes a brief journey through a bitter, floral perfume, but immediately transitions to a buttery cereal finish. Fascinating.

Delicious. Just a lightly tart, mango-cereal opening… but the real star of this is the ube-coconut that comes in quickly with a mellow, milky sweetness. There’s an earthiness/mustiness about this that makes it seem real. I hope.

Dang, I know this is sweet and gimmicky, but I love it. Manages to accurately convey both pandan and almond (think almond cookie, not butter), sweet but not syrupy. Lightly toasty.

Has an unfortunate dishwater smell but once you get past that this is a nice, bright fruity sour, not salty or puckery. Tastes like lychees and wheat and maybe some kind of berry.

Clean and nice, the initial flavor is herbaceous, like a lightly-sweet lemongrass herbal tea, but followed very quickly upon by a dry pineapple fruitiness and a mellowing coconut. More soda-like than beer, although it is dry. Only mid-tart. I'd say this beer is exactly as advertised.

Light, smooth stout. Vanilla is primary, finish is a bit caramel brownie with hints of nut butter. You definitely want to be in the mood for sweet but it's not at all syrupy or overbearing. Finishes clean but the aftertaste feels like it should be tacky, you know?

Loving this new style. Sharper than the Bellevue version but just as good, if not better. Vinous and bracingly bitter.

Roasted, dark; I wouldn't say the peanut butter is an overt flavor but it's there. It comes across more in the impression of jam if you squint after a sip. So: porter first, PB second. It's still really tasty.

Thin on flavor, with an equally thin ribbon of sweetness. I'm not sure it was exactly watery, but it was definitely less full in flavor than I like, and with so many exemplary Helles lagers around, this was firmly in the also-rans.
