Logs for beers from this brewery

Canned October 2018. This beer smells amazing, smooth pina colada and maybe a hint of cola, but the flavor is quite dense, intensely roasty and umami in a way that ends up being off-putting very quickly. The pineapple and coconut counteract it fairly effectively but the beer still finishes very tacky in the throat.
Can at Home
Really nice, sweet wit, with a hint of citrus and ginger giving this a kind of ethnically ambiguous, exotic flavor. Oddly, I thought it seemed coriandery, although the website seems to imply it wasn't used. From the yeast? And I usually don't like coriander-heavy wits, so maybe it was something else after al.
Can
Less spice evident, a lot more barrel. Strongish tequila overtones. Don't remember much else.
Bottle
Did not detect a lot of wine barrel here. Plenty of spice coming out though. Other memories are hazy - it's been a long time.
Bottle
After the others, this one tasted distinctly whiskey-like (others didn't think so, though). The lemon was a bit jarring after three lime beers, but after a while this settled down nicely, I thought. Less sour than the others.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
More intensely sour than the others, probably accentuated by the salt. Very puckering. Nice flavor though, although I didn't necessarily get a whole lot of tequila or barrel in the flavor.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Best one of the lot, I thought. Complex gose, quite tart, but with an almost coconutty smooth finish, maybe from the mint, maybe from the sugar notes on the rum. Really, really good.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Chandler brought in a tasting flight of four Westbrook sours, and this was the one that wasn't barrel aged. I liked drinking this a lot, although the flavor is more straight lime juice than it is beer. Malt and salt were just hints rather than actual flavor components. A nice palate-setter for the rest, though.
A sweet spiced chocolaty stout with a thick character. The habanero comes in at the finish and is moderately strong, building up to a nice heat. Still, I'm not sure the habanero was completely necessary or even helpful overall to the flavor profile. Or maybe I'd just had too many at this point.
