Logs for this venue

Spiced, dark, caramel. It’s a lot drier than I expected, finishes like dried stone fruit. Thin in body.

Samuel Adams Utopias (2021)
Smells like cherry; sweet, molasses, caramel. More subtle in flavor than expected. Dry, very strong alcohol. Warming like a whiskey. Tons of cherry molasses. I wouldn't buy this in a bottle full price, but it was nice to try.
Bottle

Zoiglhaus Oktoberfresh (2024)
My palate may be muted today, but this seems exceedingly pleasant. Grassy, cereal, bit of toast on the backend. Finishes dry and clean. Not sure I’m getting fresh hop, but it is tasty.
Draft

Easy drinking and not at all the bitter-fest that my previous log seems to indicate. Dominant flavors seem to be black coffee and burnt sugar.
Draft


Based on my previous notes, my impression this time seems to be somewhere between the first and second log entry descriptions.
Draft

Almost nitro-flat but contributes to a very smooth opening. Finishes with a somewhat rounded hop (or rye?) bite at the end that reduced my enjoyment a smidge.
Draft

First-class representation of the Brut style - dry, white wine grape opening, crisp hoppiness. Finishes quite clean. Excellent all around.
Draft

Sweet, smooth, lots of caramel. Nitro blandness countered strongly with alcohol, hops and some bitterness.
Nitro Draft

Light, buttery-honey sweet and cereal. Slight tang and a kiss of bitterness on the way to a clean finish. Yum!
Draft

Very nice pilsner. I wish I could describe this more interestingly, but I was very happy to drink it (and it went well with my shrimp & grits!).
