No. I did not like this, Sam I am.

Standard barley wine. Sweet, whiskey flavors. For this brewery, it was at least nice not to get kicked by hops, but I still didn't think a lot about this beer while drinking it.

Sharp, hoppy opening. I get it now -- they sure like a piney hop profile here. Sweet, typical American Hefe wheat follow through, with a touch of yeasty tang. Pretty good.

After all the hoppy beers this was almost sweet. Smooth and a mellow cereal malt presence. I think it lived up to its namesake, and made for a nice change in context.

It was... red? Smoother than the abominable but similar. Just a hint of chocolate malt. After several sips, I still couldn't think of anything interesting to say about it.

Seemed like a standard IPA. In context the flavors were a little... musty. Less fresh. Definitely in contrast to the IPX, at least.

Very, very similar to their regular IPA offering. There's just a tiny bit more fresh "pop" to the hop flavor. I can't really put it into better words than that, unfortunately.

This is definitely a different beast than the other two stouts. It's got a thick malty sweetness more in the vein of a Czar or World Wide, although it also still has a noticeable roasted bitterness to it. I wish I'd had this out of the context of a flight of 15 beers! I probably would have enjoyed it more.

I've had this before but it was illuminating to have this in the flight. The same sour roasty opening as the Black Dragon is there, although this time the finish is just more roast. Not a thick stout, and on the dry side. I give it more points for a consistent follow through, though I think I liked it better last time.

There's a sharp roasted flavor to open, with a bit of that dry stout sourness, before it transitions to that familiar, creamy oat finish. I liked it overall, but that jarring change from the opening is hard to forget.

The third version of Abominable in the flight. Didn't taste much whiskey in this, but the barrel definitely smoothed this out. I'd actually place this halfway between the regular and nitro versions in terms of smoothness. There's still a good bit of sharpness in there.

The flight included a nitro version of this as well. Definitely a lot smoother, and the finish was much less bitter. A clear malt expression in this one as well, and I was pleased not to notice any weird nitro flavors.

Quite hoppy and fragrant, almost IPA like. A bit of amber sweetness but not strongly malty to my mind. Pithy finish, but clean.

Taken right after the regular HUB Lager, you can tell the resemblance. But this has a spike of tangerine and fragrant hop on top of it -- interesting, and a tiny bit jarring. Some of the pilsner aspects that make the HUB Lager good were masked. Overall, this was not as well-melded as some IPL-type beers, but I liked it.

Still a strong lager. Did have that bit of rooty astringence that I think I noticed last time.
