Logs for beers from this brewery

Thick and red, fairly bitter but then you notice a strong malt flavor.
Caramel bourbon in your face here. The underlying stout is entirely overwhelmed by the barrel here; honestly it could have been anything. That's probably not great.
Tart and fruity, almost a little watery as I recall. Wasn't complex and definitely not great, but I didn't tire of it by the end so hey. Of course, it was just a 5oz taster, heh.
You know, this beer isn't particularly good but it was interesting for one reason: I've never tasted a wheat beer that simply _tasted_ this much like wheat. Fun, for a taster at least.
I didn't finish it. It has an interesting tart ish taste as a component, but there is nothing else good about this beer. Not nearly enough to enjoy drinking it.
Hoppy taste was okay ish, but still starts off bitter and astringent like most IPAs. Not the worst, but also not much reason to seek it out either...
I mean, it was okay. Probably drinkable at least on a normal day, but I didn't finish the taster. Didn't enjoy it much.
A hint of celery or cucumber kinda in a bad way.
It’s bad when the best tasting thing you’ve had at a brewery is the cheese plate.
Smells funky. Tastes like nothing with a hint of sour. Honestly, it's fine, if a bit strange.
It reminds me of walking into a Hello Kitty store.
Sweetish, old hard candy taste, like a barrel aged.
Smells kind of skunky. Tastes like a weak MGD. I mean, whatever.
This would taste better if the Cubs were winning.
Just a kind of clean, standard beer. Jet suggested zucchini/celery flavors.
An IPA that actually isn’t an outright assault on my taste buds! But still an IPA, so let’s not get too excited here.
Bitter, crackily dry. Scent has some malt though, which is weird.
A bit watery. Reminds me of a rose wine. In a bad way.
It's just kind of like cherry soda. Not syrupy or anything bad, just more like a soda than a beer.
Sweet scented. Fresh and effervescent. Tasty and fruity.
