A little more robustly flavored than you'd expect from a dark lager... Very similar to the porter, but maybe a little smokier?

A throwback porter, with some more hop fruitiness up front in addition to the roast, notes of licorice. Like a proto-CDA.

Based on my previous log, this is helped by not being on nitro. It is still a fairly bitter beer for what is ostensibly a smooth (or at least sweet) style. It's neither of those things.

There's something savory/fermented about the smell here; it reminds me a little of black bean paste (jjajang), so you can bet I was worried. Flavor is actually quite nice: dried fig, a decent amount of heat, caramel but unsweet. Less desserty than other Parabola variants.

Chocolate/caramel-forward, very warming. Toasted pretzel. There's a sharpness of bite, rye-like, and a woody edge on the thing, and I can't decide if that's a bug or a feature. My assumption is this will get more awesome with time.

A little more sharp on the alcohol. Overtones of licorice candy, sugar syrup. Quite good but it can't measure up to the Grainshift.

Delicious, smooth and frothy. Graham and chocolate at the forefront; otherwise it feels like everything I remember about Parabola (a beer I have not had in some time).

Sweet with that same bit of musty nuttiness that seems to be common to all of these golden stouts and porters. It was a better match once I got the fish wrap.

Dry to the point of almost being sour, but otherwise very flavorful. Cereal, hints of apricot, grassy, bitter finish.

Malty-hoppy caramel pale ale. Went well with good.

Caramel, smooth, actually fairly sweet. Pretty strongly bitter in a way that counteracts the nitro smoothness.

This is a nice, creamy and lightly sweet porter, but I honestly cannot taste any plum in it.

Not tart, exactly, or savory, especially, but the essence of pickle juice is here in the smell, the taste. One might wish that this was a little more assertive in anouncing its pickleness; I like it, but there's a little bit of uncanny valley in the way it sits at the edge.

Don't know if this is the age but this feels a little lighter in body than expected, very subdued. Really smooth whiskey notes on top, caramel, light booze, but there's something missing here, especially with "toasted" being in the name.

Really tasty. I don't like raspberries, honestly, but what this beer evokes is the smell of a frashly bought box of berries before you eat them and realize you don't actually like raspberries. Fragrant and dry and clean with a hint of white chocolate and cereal funk.

The least remarkable beer here. Sweet and hoppy with a kind of oily resin following through in the flavor.

Surprising and delicious. You have the banana and just hint of white pepper here, present from the other beers here, but there's exactly enough fruit flavor and tartness here to create a profile that's not exactly apricot and not exactly anything else - just a really bright, berry-like bell ring of a flavor. I love this.

Banana, clove, white pepper. Light and pleasing, and the sweetness counteracts the characteristic closing bitterness here realy nicely. I do like this.

A bit acerbic, strongly medicinal herbal quality about this (ginseng?) with strong white pepper and a touch of clove. Otherwise sweet and light.

Flavorful pilsner, cereal, lightly sweet and grassy.

Super-fragrant; lemon, pine, touch of apricot. Very clean and mellow but oily finish.

Really nice and mellow but to be fair it's hard to start strong and work down. I liked it but there's no way I can accurately describe this.

Intensely fragrant, over the top I think.

Boozy, sweet, caramel, slightly tart. There's fruitiness in the lingering aftertaste. As usual, it's a lot, but it's nice.

Maybe it was having this after the Jinju, but this almost felt like drinking vinegar. It was just so much!

They renamed this "Benevolent Blonde" for charity. Tastes a little fruitier, a little less lagery than my previous description. Not bad.

After the previous two beers this really kind of stuck out as gimmicky. A bit over-roasty and tacky with cinnamon coming through first, and then a not super integrated apple flavor.

A really fine dubbel ... brown sugar and biscuit up front, with a unexpectedly fruity, dry finish. Raisin-ish, maybe.

This is absolutely no knock on the beer; it was just under 12 years old! In fact, in its defense it was surprisingly palatable for a beer that age: no weird sediment, some molasses caramel syrup, a clean but prominent raw alcohol flavor. Enough left to hint at past greatness, even if we waited too long.

Very dry, very peachy - like the flesh of the fruit and not at all candy-like. Assertively tart but not puckeringly sour. Extremely clean.

Both coconut and vanilla are the faintest hints, but there’s an overall mild sweetness that works well with the cask flatness. Slightly tart and tacky but cleans up quick.

A clean if unremarkable lemon-pine IPA. Maybe if this wasn't my third I would have a more defined opinion on it.

A nice German hefe, banana, slightly tangy, clove-forward.

A really nce citrus hazy with notes of orange and mango. No bitterness and a clean finish.

I don't remember how I felt about this, other than clearly thinking this tasted more like ginger snaps than what I think of as gingerbread.

Tart, extremely thick, kind of like drinking a melted mango sorbet (complimentary!). Almost unidentifiable as beer.

Intense citrus/grape fruitiness, almost over the top but stats on the right side. Bright and finishes mellow.

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.

Fragrance of banana hard candy. Flavor is not so much cream pie, but is very roasty coffee, candy banana. Thick and tacky.

May have 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.

Lots of the wood here, caramel, fruit, toffee. It's smooth but also quite sweet and intense - at 13+% it's a lot.

Clean and lightly sweet,, with a primary orange kind of flavor.

Surprisingly smooth, plummy. I'm used to this feeling more raw and boozy.

A piney, pithy IPA, with some mellow/bitter sweetness that I can only imagine is coming from the tea. I like tea beers but I kind of wish it wasn't sweet-on-sweet; I think the effect is best when there's something in opposition to mellow.

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.

Intense coffee, maple, whiskey. Sweet and roasty and thick.

Grape-forward, fragrant and hoppy, A little on the sweet side, and finished quite bitter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Hoppy, somewhat acrid.

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.

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.

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