What else members are drinking

Roast, thick, lightly sweet. Been a while since I had the non-barrel version of this and it's actually a relief (in the past, I might have thought this was too roasty).
Light plum, toffee, thin mouthfeel but lots of whisky.
Fruity, unsweet, light. Drying and tart but not at all funky.
A tropical IPA that is absolutely overwhelmed by sweet vanilla/lactose. It tastes like dessert, but it's really not at all what I'm looking for in an IPA.
Can at Home
Sweetish, soda-like, tastes of mandarin orange and grapefruit. That part is pretty nice, but there’s a high alpha bitterness on top with something’s unpleasant going on, like plastic fumes.
Flavorful, sweet cereal. Grassy, bitter finish. Works really well with the lime wedge and holds up to it.
Unsweet roasty coffee porter, a bit lactic. Quite drinkable.
Spiced, hoppy amber lager. Sweet up front but has a strong resinous dryness that comes in fast.
Light and bone dry, very clean. Apple, apricot, pineapple, but in more of a Kasugai Gummy aspect than fresh fruit. Long, lingering cereal. Not at all what I was expecting, but I really like this.
Slightly chalky texture, lightly sweet but also roasty-bitter smooth stout. You can taste the caramel, but it also a little disjoint.
Toasty and hoppy, light, kind of a classic American brown ale.
Definitely jammy, but there's something very uncanny about the "peanut butter" in this beer. Vegetal, green, it's not creamy and it doesn't meld at all into the flavor.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Assuming this is the rum barreled Guava Dawn. A little disappointingly the flavor never really comes together… On the one hand, you have a bright, tart, clean sour, and then you just have rum. It’s not melding for me tonight.
Dark winter ale with bright, bitter, spices (anise? clove?). Underneath there's a gingery cola-like caramel fruitiness.
Roasty and lots of barrel character. Remarkable that this is still good 9 years after coming out of the barrel, but it also hasn’t transformed into something remarkable either.
Fair Isle Bolete (unknown release)
Both farm-funky and surprisingly sour. Kind of the definition of a challenging saison.
Malty, slightly roasty. Interesting that I can’t pin this down, but I’d say somewhere between a Schwarzbier and a light porter. Nice.
Sweet, tastes pretty good but it does kind of you in the face with peanut butter in a way that other beers of this description mange to find more balance.
