The smoothest of the three, unsurprisingly, but also lets more of the raw alcohol through. It's also slightly more simplistic in its sweetness, although, let's be honest. This is still awesome.

I think this was the best of the flight - smoother, sweeter, disspates in the finish and there's none of the bitterness that was present in the 2025.

A Thanksgiving flight! The youngest here is redolent of plum, caramel, date, and as always, quite smooth. Slight cola qualitites. Finishes a little bitter.

Flavorful porter, thin mouthfeel but roasty and hinting at licorice and blackstrap molasses. Bitter finish.

Quite flavorful, opens like a German Pilsner, but dries out fast. This is quite bitter, almost acrid. Decent but not easy.

It’s pretty sweet. And it’s a thick sweetness so the effect kind of accumulates in your mouth. I was really impressed at first taste but the more i have the more i’m kinda like hmmmmm. Would probably have rated one tick higher if i’d gotten the tasting size.

Quite sweet, reminiscent of Candi sugar, but it smooths out what otherwise would have tasted very alcoholic. Definitely one for a small glass after dinner.

Okay at this point it’s almost certainly me. Also metallic. An assertive dry bitterness to finish, Brett/horse blanket funk.

Just a little hint of citrus which is unexpected but good.

Starts off like a hef but gets funky quickly. I know I’ve said everything tastes metallic today but this one does too, with some bitter funk.

Very pleasant porter. Roast beef. In a good way.

Well the pumpkin is very subtle and there’s a bitterness that seems off… a weird like cherry cough syrup thing too. i dunno…

There’s just something a little off here. Tastes almost a little rubbery… of course I did just have a McRib…

Quite good. The pumpkin is not obnoxious. A little spice. Definitely whiskey barrel aged

Almost grassy at first taste but then it kind of mellows out with some dill and I dunno… fennel?

An ok porter with some slight smoke and metallic finish but aside from a light custard sweetness, I can’t detect anything pumpkin- or pie-like in the flavor. I think that has to count against it.

Roasty with some cereal, bitter finish. Mild tobacco? Slightly tacky finish that gives it that English feeling. I like this.

Really pleasant with a hint of chocolate, toasted almond but not overly sweet

Creamy, roasty, light coffee, lightly sweet.

Rounded, very hoppy red. Light roast. Some metallic quality actually balances the hops out and makes this interesting.

Kind of like drinking a pine tree. Dark and resinous, with a bitter buildup that gets pretty intense in the aftertaste.

Pineapple-forward ale, tart and a little murky, with some mild coconut sweetness and lime brightening the end.

Sweet with an almost fruit punch character. You can tell it's alcoholic but it very much does not put you in a beer headspace; in that way, this is not far off in my memory from some of the fruit ales from New Glarus.

Two years on since the last time I had this, it can only be mellower. It’s is extraordinarily mellow. Lightly sweet, the faintest hint of dried plum, a burnt toffee finish.

Malty, molasses, hoppy. Hints of herbal candy; medicinal. Smooth and homey.

Thickish, very chocolate, with a nice, after-dinner kind of consistency. Reminded me a lot of an Andes Mint without the mint, strangely.

Fairly bitter and alpha forward, but clear honey notes and cereal on the way to the finish.

Fizzy, cherry up-front on the top of the flavor going into a ong cacao finish. Prickly finish with very light smoke.

Sweetish, juicy IPA, extremely cloudy. Grapefruit-forward. Acrid but light finish.

Roast, coffee-forward, slightly thinner than your average barrel-aged stout. Caramel booze, believable as Basil Hayden. I like the base beer here, and I like this barrel-aged version.

Super fragrant hop opening with a clear nutmeg and clove poking through. Sustained sweetness and smoothness from the lactose. Surprisingly enjoyable.

Funk up front but mostly turns into a candy fruit sweetness. Dragonfruit and strawberry jam? I went back and forth whether I was vibing with it or not through the course of the glass.

Hoppy, somewhat acrid.

more grapefruity and even rindy

it’s grapefruity. i dunno.

This is good. The nice juicy sort of IPA that I actually like!

It's fine, but not really interesting. Not overly bitter. Not at all fruity. Not particularly clean not crisp. I get a little brackish Pale Ale as I drink more. Meh.

It like wants to give you all three flavors and some of them seem like they’re about to be pleasant but then they all get jumbled and it’s cough syrup

It's got this weird perfume essence that does not do it for me. Might be a good thick stout otherwise.

i imagine lots of people fall over themselves for this sort of hoppy bitter thing but it’s just not for me

nice. almost a little sweet and fruity for me but it manages to stay under control

This is good. Smooth, Good thickness. Nice sweetness. A little bit of spice.

Even better or the same as last time. which is to say great. a little tinge of cinnamon too this time

It actually wasn't as terrible as I remember. Not bad.

Clean, roast, bready. Dark pretzel, caramel sheen. Really very tasty.

Tastes like someone took a caramel-forward winter ale and hit it with a huge dose of apicot. It's nice but it's definitely going to depend on how much you like apricot, because it's overwhelming.

Earthy coffee flavors with a sweet, caramel finish. Feels like a nightcap. Reminds me a lot of the barrel-aged coffee I got at Starbucks Reserve Roastery a few years ago. The quality of this beer varies year to year but this year's is nice.

Candy fruit up front, appropriately tropical but kind of stays sweet.

Yet another aspect of these spices, in this case there's a fruity-tartness that opens and subverts most of the perfumey overtones that this beer has suffered from in the past. What it does do is make it very cola-like, spice-forward; ginger, cinnamon?

Prickly, dark-pretzel-like, caramel-roast finish.

Prominent chili pepper bitterness, not a little umami, cinnamon, chocolate. I actually think this is much better than the regular Gunpowder Plot flavor profile.

Clove, candi sugar, a little spicy. Dries really fast and is fairly bitter so there’s a bit of whiplash. Does feel a lot like Fall.

Opaque, jammy, like a berry sherbet melted down into a cup. No funk at all; very hard to even tell it's alcoholic. But it's strikingly tasty.

Berry opening, tastes like it’s going to have a tart follow through but does not. Dries into a vinous, crisp lager flavor. I like this!

Citrus up-front, lots of pith. Bitter back end. A little acrid.

Not my jam.

Tart, funky, dry. A little on the grapey side.

Very meh, I don’t know why I ordered pumpkin

Cola-like, definietly has some spice synergies with the Timber City which is why I can clearly taste it now as opposed to before. Lots of caramel and a dry finish.

Dry and spicy, very much cocktail-coded.

Dry, bracing, fruity on the finish but the flavor is more along the lines of the oils than the juice here.

Effervescent, tropical-citrus hazy, thick but quite balanced. Like a fizzy hard candy of a beer. Really pungent but it's doing it for me todya, and let's face it, you brew a Mariners-themed beer I'm going to drink it.

Roasty, robust, a little prickly, makes me think of tobacco. Bitter on the finish but good for a real weighty stout.

Decent IPA scent. Taste is bitter and perhaps a bit brackish. I've had worse, but it's not the sort of IPA I like.

Generally I like this beer but today it has a murky, dishwatery quality.

Very much a Maibock-style festbier, sweet-ish, alcoholic.

(Brewed 1-24, bottled 11-24) This is amazing. Sweet, tart, effervescent, the slightest hint of some bitterness. amazing balance. I guess if you NEED a mouthful of bitterness then this might not be for you. Otherwise, this is the best bet ever.

It's kinda rough and brackish. Makes it seem more German than Czech to me. They do talk about "an old school blur off German and Czech styles" on the bottle. I fear that adding Czech into German results in nothing good.

I don’t know if it’s the unusually bright hop presence or the chewy malt sweetness or the lightly umami finish, but this beer felt kind of relentless.

Has an unpleasant opening flavor of dishwater with lemon cleaner. It's momentary but hard to ignore. Finishes well, with a cereal sweetness.

Citrus, pine, a little bit simplistic. Bitter finish.

A little more lager-like, a little more uric than the last log. I think it helps, although it still finishes quite bitter.

A sweet, cereal lager with a pretty intense peach flavor upfront. Peach breakfast cereal? It’s interesting but also quite weird.

A little too sweet - it's not syrupy but there's something over the top about the tail end of the flavor. And it winds up tacky in the throat. It's tiny-bit headache inducing.

Still like it.

Still like it. Fruity.

Apricot gravy with some fragrant funk that could be ascribed to the tea. Maybe?

Mild and fruity, citrus. It’s fragrant, almost too fragrant—one sip is very pleasant indeed but it’s a lot to take over a glass.

We've replaced their s'mores with barrel aged nonsense. Let's see if they notice . . .

Coriander spice and efforvescence.

Fairly bitter with not much in the way of juicy flavors I was led to expect.

Dark. Not very sweet. A little bitter. I dunno.

Has a lot of what I like in a pumpkin beer; a touch of caramel, fruit, not much in the way of pie spice, but this is sour, and feels like it’s accidentally so.

Still good.

This is really nice. Good body, effervescent, flavors are actually pretty subtle, the text says "Apple and subtle spice"

It's okay, but tastes a little funky. I think it's not for me in the end.

It's kinda floral. Like drinking effervescent perfume.

Wow, this is really good! Fruity, cherry beer.

Unsweet, pine-lemon, cereal, pepper. Complex melange of aromatics right on the backend. Finishes bitter but clean.

Still a tasty, flavorful beer.

All the old logs are correct. This time I only stole a sip from Roy because I feared the headache.

Nice and normal

Bit cherry flavored. You bourbon barrel aged weirdos might like this.

Kind of marzen-like

54 home runs! This is both a sweet lager and grassy; assertive. Slightly uric, brackish finish. Really like this.

A really mellow drinking, fruity, sweet ale. Plummy.

Very light on pineapple but the chili is assertive and pleasant, and more than a little spicy. I'm a sucker for (non-stout) chili beers and this one hits the spot.

Definitely lots of lime, with a primarily citric tartness. There's a faint tinge of sweetness but this is more lime than it is pie to me. Lime ain't a bad way to go though.

It's possible this is on the other side of the aging hump but you can't tell. Lots of coffee, so smooth. Bourbon/caramel and no alcohol harshness. Just about perfect.

Smooth, definitely nutty, definitely marshmallow. It's thick in a way that I've never experienced in a beery, as if they added xanthan gum to simulate the feeling of a marshmallow. Ever had thick water? It's not that far off.

Very smoothed out, just on the edge of getting raw on the alcohol side, but this is still so nice. A little more smoky, tiny bit tart, bourbon finish.

Toasty, lightly malty, light fragrance of apple or pumpkin. Solid Oktoberfest.

Every "golden stout" I've had has overcompensated in some way that breaks into the uncanny valley, and this is no exception. A little too sweet, a little too milky, but still, overall not bad.

Tastes like light cocoa, maybe marshmallow, just a hint of coconut. Light, sweet, but not cloying, really tasty and remains so for the full pint.

Very smooth, still good, if sanded away a bit much and exposing the raw flavor of alcohol.

Too old, gone bad. Extremely sour, undrinkable.

Smooth, light milk stout - maybe the cleanest milk stout I've had? Light roast, smoke. The finishing bitterness is roasty, like a dark pretzel. It's extraordinarily well-balanced and light-drinking.

Sweet, toffee, lots of booze. The sweetness is very strong and brandy-like.

Not gonna lie, I could drink an infinite amount of this. It's a pineapple coconut drink. It does not at all taste alcoholic.

Extremely dry, thin body and no lingering tartness. I liked this a lot.

The lime combines with the hibiscus to give this a real nice, dry bite at the end of a juicy cider.

A grassy, surprisingly bitter lager that mellows into a kind of adjunct sweetness. It's very clean. I think I was expecting something a lot lighter, but this was tasty.

Weirdly candy-like in its fruitiness? It reminds me a bit of those soft-center hard strawberry candies in the white wrappers. Somewhat insipid finish. I might be more in the mood for this except this doesn't feel intentional? (Note: this was absolutely marked as Hans Gruber on the tap but maybe this was actually the Strawberry Golden Ale?)

Mildly sour up-front with a floral candy sweetness coming in later. It's not syrupy or thick, more like sucking on a sour hard candy over time.

A little watery, especially in comparison to the Melons. If this is the base, it's missing more than the watermelon. Still, good basic flavors, just feels like it could have been more flavorful.

Now this is a beer that tastes like watermelon! Juice, not candy-like. Uric and cereal, cloudy, refreshing.

Tart; blueberry; lemon; clean.

Still boozy, but approaching sublime levels of smoothness. Chocolate, caramel, woody bitterness.

A citrus mix, prickly carbonation, really mellow finish despite what is quite an oily beer. Sweet with some cereal in the finish.

It’s a good IPA, dry, bitter, but not overly pithy or resinous. A significant ding for tasting nothing like guava.

Fragrant, citrus, sunny. Very nostalgic flavor, and not a bad fit for breakfast.

This thing is suffused with the spirit of chocolate; the thickness, the fruitiness of the cacao really comes through. It's decadent and luxurious rather than refined and luxurious - this feels like it would have been a lot to take when it was young, but it's still a lot now.

Light and tasty, bit of tangy taste. Not much bitterness.

A rounded, fruity (but not juicy) IPA with some cereal funk and clean finish. I don't especially get a lot of mango here but I also understand my palate may be fried.

Not the sweetest dessert stout I've ever had, but this is up there. Starts with some roast and marshmallow but the sweetness goes on and on. Boozy, too.

This one's weird, honestly. Light, but with smoky white pepper notes like you get with a Belgian IPA. The lemon sits a bit uneasily on top of that. I appreciate they tried it, though.

Jammy, sweet, medium sour. Not much funk and a lot of fruit. It's well-balanced, and interestingly if you have a sip directly after the S'more, there's a real PB&J effect.

This one actually tastes peppery. Spicy rye notes and a bit of malt. Not fruity at all, which is nice for an IPA these days.

A smooth red, Irish-like, with a dry bitterness and pine tar character. Lightly sweet.

A light lemon-pine IPA with distinct peach flavors. I don't think I really get peppercorn here, other than a slightly shimmery bitter finish, but this is tasty.

Thick, peanut butter flavor with some cereal. This is somewhat reminiscent of Peanut Butter Crunch Cereal, which in the past has been famously in tune with my tastes. This one has some backbone too, though.

Caramel, coconut, cocoa. This is dessert sweet avoids being thick or cloying. Really quite tasty.

Tart but not puckery, not at all funky. Peach with maybe some vanilla? The effect is sour-sweet.

great sour. could be even more mango.

Czech-like, brackish, grassy. Has a sweetness running through it.

Always a good one.

Extremely dry and toasty, kind of like drinking a Rold Gold pretzel.

Not gonna lie, this is very similar in flavor profile to the Bottle Logic. Less thick, less booze, a little bit more roast and bite.

Strongly candy cherry, cream, fizzy soda. Finishes tart and bright. It's a little too intense, maybe, but it walks the fine line without blowing through it.

Strong fudge notes, sweet, thick. Strong whisky. Finishes surprisingly clean for how overt it is.

A sweet, brown, roasty, toasty, maple beer. Clear as a bell.

Tart, lightly funky, dry. Lemon and prickly pear and hints that remind me of guava, maybe.

Apricot/fuzzy peach. Juicy more than sour although it ends with a nice tartness. It lets the actual fruit through in a way that's rare for this flavor profile.

Flavorful IPA. Fruity, cereal, dry, but finishes light enough.

Sweet, creamy, peanut butter candy. Very much a dessert beer.
