Intense, sweet, definitely cherries. Could deifnitely stand to mellow out with some aging.

Estery Belgian pale with a dry Brett finish. Light banana, grape, hint of white pepper and clove. Avoids overt hoppy or bitter flavors for the most part, just a kiss at the end. Finishes clean.

A little sad that they didn’t have this on nitro anymore, but this was remarkable nonetheless. Boozy, bourbony, sweet and delicious. Tiny bit raw around the edges from being young.

Slightly more bitter than the other one, and less juicy. Less great overall.

Hazy, opaque, grapefruit. Not too sour, not too bitter. Juicy!

Grapey fruit flavors; otherwise, this is a Czech pilsner, grassy, bitter and bright.

Resinous, dark amber. Lots of juniper. Bitter.

Aftermath of the 2016 Big Wood Festival. I can't even remember.

I'm just not particularly impressed by this porter... It's not bad, but it's nothing special.

Light smokiness, medium strong hops, roasted nuts.

Randall infused with strawberry, coconut and vanilla beans.

Randall infused with lime, orange and grapefruit.

Crisp and bitter, this is why I labeled is a "czech pilsner", some it is nearly perfect.

Pine Sol. This tasted basically like Pine Sol and I couldn't taste anything else. My mouth feels like furniture.

Really quite nice. A piney, light IPA with a sweetish cereal finish. The lightness and sweetness make for a good combination. Maybe I'm just over-happy it was no longer the lemon/chinook version?

It starts like a session IPA but finishes like a fake lemon drop hard candy. I can't say it was a good thing.

Smoke was subtle, with notably more hops when compared to the other dark beers on this tray. Not gonna lie, this probably would have fared much better out of context.

Good coffee flavor on top of a dry, roasty base beer. It didn't blow me away, but it was very decent. I know I said some things about spices with the regular Abominable, but didn't notice that much here. Just dark beer and coffee.

Somehow I've never had this before. Dry and roasty to good levels, but there's a sour coffee undertone that is never a sign of a stout I'll love. I guess I should stick to the bourbon versions of this from now on.

A big brother to the saison, with a lot of the same flavors, but stronger. There's also a touch of raw booze, which knocks it down a peg, although if it weren't side by side with the saison it probably would have fared better.

A bit of clove on the nose, which is not my favorite kind of saison, but this had a really light, refreshing body on top of the spice and a clean, cereal malt finish. It was much better than I thought it'd be, and maybe even the day's winner!

Dark and starry. Oaty and mealy stouty.

Summery.

Good, but a bit too bitter.

Creamy and good.

Smooth hopiness, sweet finish gives the bitterness a strong grapefruit taste.

If I hadn't had this after Brouwer's, I would've unreservedly loved it. Dry, thinnish stout with a nice roasty flavor and smooth coconut to finish. As usual I'm likely to love anything with coconut in it.

Such a great smell--fine wood. Nice malt tackiness. Super pleasant wood finish.

Mmm. Just the right amount of wood - what a great finish. Not too thick, but still possesses a wonderful chocolate creaminess.
