Eden's Log

A clean if unremarkable lemon-pine IPA. Maybe if this wasn't my third I would have a more defined opinion on it.
Draft
A nice German hefe, banana, slightly tangy, clove-forward.
Draft
A really nce citrus hazy with notes of orange and mango. No bitterness and a clean finish.
Draft
Intense citrus/grape fruitiness, almost over the top but stats on the right side. Bright and finishes mellow.
Draft
Fragrant and flavorful, a robust lager with fruity/citrus overtones.
Thick and sweet, like most Bottle Logic stouts. Smells very nutty and tastes like smooth chocolate sauce, and booze. In my memory this isn't quite as great as the Shell Theory, but it is very nice.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Fragrance of banana hard candy. Flavor is not so much cream pie, but is very roasty coffee, candy banana. Thick and tacky.
May ahve been a mispour, sinc ethis tastes very much like a wit. Peppery and estery, dry and very drinkable. (Tap was one away from Holy Mountain White Lodge - possibly that?)
Grapey, unsweet, light buttery notes and some dry bitterness bring out the vinous aspects nicely. Alcohol pokes through a bit strongly.
Grapefruit / pineapple / vanilla. It's like a weird cross between a creamsicle and a citrus smoothie. For its style it's not bad, but a few too many flavors to be truly enjoyable.
(5.6%) Sweet and spicy brown but the ginger tastes very much of the dried root: sharp, bitter and medicinal. There's a mild candy quality when the flavor turns to aftertaste. It definitely does not make me think of gingerbread... intense ginger snap? But that's still underselling it.
Prairie Okie Noir (unknown release)
Lots of the wood here, caramel, fruit, toffee. It's smooth but also quite sweet and intense - at 13+% it's a lot.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Clean and lightly sweet,, with a primary orange kind of flavor.
Surprisingly smooth, plummy. I'm used to this feeling more raw and boozy.
Unsweet brown but with a really mellow caramel that rounds out to the finish. No spice profile, lightly estery. The effect is kind of like a nut bread, warm and wintry.
Much thinner than other variants; clear cinnamon that I also think turns into a spice bitterness that dominates the finish. Maybe the least successful version I’ve tried.
Piney, hop oil; very little fruit or body. But a nice, bracing, grassy bitterness. For that flavor profile, this is actually pretty good.
Can
Intense coffee, maple, whiskey. Sweet and roasty and thick.
Can
Grape-forward, fragrant and hoppy, A little on the sweet side, and finished quite bitter.
Can
The fragrance is super strong. Berry candy and coconut, I think the same dominant aroma as the IPA. Tart, dry, hibiscus-lime. High, sweet aftertaste.
Much fruitier than I expected. There's a tart saison quality to this. Liquour-soaked raisins, vinous.
More of the same toasted sesame but has more of a coffee candy follow-through. There's an unusual florality to it too.
Fragrant, floral, strong buttery coconut that is strong but melts into the flavor. Long candy aftertaste. Wow.
Toasted sesame on the nose. Sparkly but roasty, unsweet, light-drinking.
Surprisingly fragrant, sweet but with a citrus rind perfume and bitterness. Definitely more strongly characterful than most in this style - really interesting!
Whiskey and cherry syrup, some light roast. Thin but boozy. Honestly would have liked less overt cherry flavor but this isn't bad at all!
Sour peach, a nice flavor but somewhat over the top.
Hazy, citrus, oily but not perfumey. Firm pithy bitternesson the end. Clean.
One of the cleaner rice lagers I've had, lightly fragrant, sweet, grassy, clean finish. Yum!
Sweeter than Shell Theory, thinner in texture. Does make me think of chocolate sauce, with a nutty finish that comes out of the background. Less boozy, but also less decadent.
Smooth, milky and chocolate. The caramel is in the silky texture rather than an overt flavor. Strong as all Bottle Logic beers but more smoothed over, delicious.
Sweet, smooth. Pretty much as advertised, even if it tasted stronger than it soudned.
Draft at Cow Palace
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.
Very light, tastes like an earthy coffee but notably watered down. It’s ok.
Very forward woodsmoke flavor. Beer is good though slightly less sweet than others I’ve had in this style. Finishes very clean.
Bright, clear, up front maraschino cherry with overtones of cinnamon and other holiday spice. Very smooth, and if it’s less complex than other “prestige” beers, it’s not any less enjoyable.
Port sweetness, so smooth, actually delicious and I lament that I just missed the keg blowing here.
Malty, roasty, creamy stout. Somewhat tart and finishes with the same hop florality as the Hyphen.
The most "normal" of the flight. Biscuity, sweetish aftertaste.
Extremely light, peach forward, interesting floral bitterness. Might be mistaken for a seltzer, but there is the barest hint of cereal on the end.
Two extremely pale beers in this flight, although this one has strong pine hop florality. Just fascinating.
The smell is very strongly of hot cocoa or fudge, which is interesting because there is no hint of chocolate in the description. I like the flavor, which is reminiscent of a pineapple sundae with chocolate syrup.
Fascinating - definitely tastes like realistic watermelon juice followed by sourness. As that comes in you get hit with assertive spice - tastes like someone mixed this with habanero water. The heat lingers, and may be a little too strong to be higher-rated.
Tasted weak, but to be fair, it was after a bunch of strongly flavored things.
Whatever they did to add the blueberry to the Hazy IPA has tempered both flavors really nicely... It's actually quite a dry flavor, quite good.
As noted the other day, the blueberry is barely detectable in this. Side-by-side the main difference is that the aftertaste is fruity rather than caramel. They're both pretty great though.
Smooth up-front, some roasty bitterness. The finish strongly caramel with maybe just the slightest hint of nut and salt.
Have to admit, the blueberry is a minor hint at best here, but this is still really tasty. Next mission is to have this right next to the non-blueberry version to compare.
Less sweet, more roasty than I expect from this style, reminiscent of a lye pretzel or water cracker. Just a hint of grassy sweetness before bitterness takes over.
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.
Can at Home
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.
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.
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.
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.
Draft
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.
Can at Home
Super fragrant hop opening with a clear nutmeg and clove poking through. Sustained sweetness and smoothness from the lactose. Surprisingly enjoyable.
Can at Home
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.
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.
Tart, funky, dry. A little on the grapey side.
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.
Generally I like this beer but today it has a murky, dishwatery quality.
Very much a Maibock-style festbier, sweet-ish, alcoholic.
Draft
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.
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.
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.
Unsweet, pine-lemon, cereal, pepper. Complex melange of aromatics right on the backend. Finishes bitter but clean.
Draft
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.
Bottle
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.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
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.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
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.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Toasty, lightly malty, light fragrance of apple or pumpkin. Solid Oktoberfest.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
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.
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.
Not gonna lie, I could drink an infinite amount of this. It's a pineapple coconut drink. It does not at all taste alcoholic.
Can at Melody's
Son of Man Sagardo (2023 Harvest)
Extremely dry, thin body and no lingering tartness. I liked this a lot.
Bottle at Melody's
The lime combines with the hibiscus to give this a real nice, dry bite at the end of a juicy cider.
Bottle at Melody's
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.
Very smooth, still good, if sanded away a bit much and exposing the raw flavor of alcohol.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
Too old, gone bad. Extremely sour, undrinkable.
Bottle at Odin Lounge
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.
Bottle at Work
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.
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.
Czech-like, brackish, grassy. Has a sweetness running through it.
Sweet, creamy, peanut butter candy. Very much a dessert beer.
