Sweet, Helles-like, but with some interesting Belgian-ish spice notes lingering on top. A little funk. My taste buds might be seriously compromised by the Petite Mort, but I appreciate that this isn't actually coming across as "just another lager"

A sweetish lager, lightly fruity, with some wet-hay-like funk. Tastes English if you ask me.

Intensely pungent lemon-pine IPA with vegetal overtones and a drying middle. Light diacetyl butteriness. Finishes clean but this is not a light-hearted beer.

A caramel amber lager with an assertive roast bitterness breaking through an otherwise cereal sweetness. Ain’t a Sam Adams.

Seems lighter than last time. The notes from my first log still seem to be very true, especially the cherry notes. It's as smooth and as light as a boozy amber can be, maybe??

Somewhat tart, tacky stout with a plummy alcohol finish. It doesn’t have the sophistication of the manumission. Perhaps a bit more prickly than the regular BA Sherwood from yesterday.

Date/toffee/rum, somewhat strong in alcohol character but balanced nicely with a smooth, roasty stout. Burnt sugar aftertaste.

Look. I was pretty drunk by this point. It was good, I didnt really taste the coconut and that's on me. It's a good porter.

A very pleasant, light-light rice lager. I was in the middle of a very aggressively-flavored catfish po'boy (delicious though) so I'm not sure I can describe this in a more nuanced way.

Definitely doesn't taste as barrel-forward as the beers I usually get from Métier. This is good but it's not blowing me away. Slightly tart, tacky... barrel/booze character is lacking.

Seems like a large difference from last time and context is probably quite relevant here. But today this was a great followup to La Mort Rouge.

It's not as red winey as I remember - more like La Petit Mort in being caramel forward with a little bit of fruitiness. Don't know if my tastes have changed or if it's just simply being a 7 year old vintage.

Lightly sweet, caramel dark lager. Hint of roast, a little tang. It’s inoffensive but sometimes that’s exactly what you are looking for.

Interesting that this is based on Thor’s Hammer, since twice now I’ve found it significantly for successful. Maybe it’s just the vanilla? Who knows?

Primary flavor is reminiscent of pear, with a funky gose like character on top. The finish gets more cereal and sweet over time, but you can taste the salt for sure.

Tastes like a milkshake sour, mildly tart raspberry/sour strawberry and a mellow semisweet finish. It’s not especially milky except in the late aftertaste.

Amber, rich opening, dry resin middle and a cream-ale like cereal finish. The dryness carries on a bit afterwards. Like this quite a lot.

The lavender is not at the forefront here. It’s primarily a citrus IPA with a strong, sweet overtone (I think this is where the lavender is coming in). The hops are pretty assertive and get stronger through the glass.

Very nice... A slightly sweeter Gundpowder Plot that really brings out the caramel. I never thought the base beer tasted particularly barrel-aged, but maple and vanilla really brings out (or at least simulates) that character.
