Nutty, hints of cocoa, thematically not that different from the afraid of the dark but honestly I can’t get behind the nitro (even though it’s better than usual)
Intensely bitter, metallic, buttery to start. It’s assertive but distinctive, unexpected but hard to dislike. For me at least. Cereal and grassy hop bitterness close, though the finish is clean.
Mild, malty ale with brown sugar notes. Super-different from the other "bitter" in this flight. You'd never put them into the same style if you weren't told. Stylistically, I don't know where I'd fit this, actually.
They called this a passionfruit bitter. Tastes like a hoppy pale or a light IPA; very dry flavor with some pith. Of the two "bitters," I liked this one much less.
I'm sure everything I've written about this beer is wrong. Even this part about it being a fine beverage to enjoy whilst one patiently awaits their friends at a bar, wondering who among the people here are the people you're supposed to know but don't....
Sweet malt on top of a slightly tangy yeast base. The literature says this is a helles lager, and it fits the bill pretty nicely. As a bonus, this is the least bitter beer I've had from this brewery, so they can actually manage that.
Maybe the least bitter beer I've had here, with a biscuity, caramel flavor and a smooth finish. Not much in the way of holiday spices as promised in the description, but it was a pleasant beer.
A real foreign export stout, with a medium-strong spicy hop presence poking through a dry, slightly tangy stout, with plenty of malt sweetness and roast. Not my favorite style of stout, but given that, it was perfectly fine.
Tons of vibrant, orangey citrus on the nose here. Usually when the scent is so rich the flavor comes across as over-perfumey, and that is certainly true here. There's almost an oily sheen to the flavor, which is good but can wear thin. Especially because there's very little backbone to the flavor. Oddly, this IPA had the least bitter finish of all the pales I've had here.
A light, sweet, slightly buttery ale with a rich, yellow color. Similar, perfumey quality shared with the other pale beers here, although with noticeably less citrus. Same acrid bitterness on the finish, as well, which was a negative. Otherwise, nice for such a lightly flavored beer
A rich, malty stout with notable smoke and chocolate flavors. Slightly sweet, with a smooth, creamy finish that starts mild but builds up a bit of bitterness. Tastes stronger than its 7.7% ABV.
A strong, fragrant lemony hop opening. Slightly buttery on the follow-through, ending with a light, sweet cereal flavor. Mild finish. Enjoyable, but just a bit perfumey.
A new brewery! This beer had a very pleasant caramelly biscuit flavor, with a bit of nutty yeast funk. A bit of fruit on the nose but not so much in the taste. The strike against this beer is an unexpectedly strong, yeasty bitterness in the finish.
