What else members are drinking

Elysian The Big Blackness (unknown release)
Pruney and dark, the opening resembles port or brandy rather than bourbon, but you get the latter about halfway through and then a sweet, liquor finish. Tacky finish, definitely strong.
Draft
Extremely pungent, resinous, dry, woody. There are times when I appreciate a beer like this but I kind of wanted something drinkable?
Bottle
Surprisngly simple for a Deschutes barrel-aged beer - but maybe that's just in comparison to the Baptista. I t's somewhat thin in mouthfeel with a sweet but not syrupy liquor-forward flavor. Some high-key bitterness in the finish.
Bottle
You get a hit of that mezcal right up front - smoke, a little brine. This is otherwise a balanced stout, not too sweet, a bit tacky on the finish, with a mellow vanilla-chocolate flavor that results in a long finish. Strong!
Bottle
Sweet coffee, not syrupy, a decent amount of pumpkin spice, but also a very vegetal component that might be the coffee bean, or maybe the pumpkin. Nice to taste real flavors though.
Draft
A nice Oktoberfest, sweet, a bit metallic, but there’s a juicy hop sheen that is a little off for me.
Draft
Both a dry lager and a mildly sweet pumpkin ale, cola-like, lightly spiced. Very drinkable.
Can
Indeterminate sour flavor, mellowed with buttery funk. But really nice.
Can
Extreme strawberry jam character, with a tart finish. Has some funk but is primarily fruity. This all leads to a pleasing opening that becomes a bit hard to endure through an entire pint.
Draft
Sweet but drying, cloudy, cereal, brackish finish. This isn’t toasty, and the color is light to match - a wiesn maybe?
Draft
Quite nice - comes across more in the Kolsch camp than IPA. It's fragrant but not overly fruity; there's a lager-like turn to the flavor that finishes slightly uric. I liked it.
Draft
Very delicious. Not too sweet, just a hint of maple, a nut-butter overtone. You can definitely feel the strength over time but it's balanced, not over-the-top.
Bottle
Blueberry-forward, slight butter-bitter funk. Evocative of pie.
Bottle
Mellow sweet grapefruit, slightly herbal finish.
Draft
Definitely a Bavarian flavor profile, but decidedly less sweet (watery?) than expected.
Draft
Vinous, ultra-dry, apple-grape, butter-bitter finish. Just exactly the right amount of funk. Gorgeous beer.
Draft
Like an extra strong version of the Icicle Helles I had earlier today but with a touch more banana. Finishes dry, bitter, tacky.
Bottle
Grassy, lightly sweet, somewhat buttery/tacky/metallic, it's been a while but I wouldn't be surprised if this was fairly similar to the Hofbräu Original Lager.
Draft
I admire that Urban Family is always around to do offbeat sours. This is characterisitically tart but otherwise light and festive. Not sure if there's anything specifically pumpkiny about this but the pie spice is light but present.
Can
Bracing; clean; fragrant. Piney without any other over-the-top qualities. This was great!
