Tastes like a roasty red with a kind of yeasty curl. If you squint you can get the maple but it's not as strong as I would like. Sweet potato? May have come through as a murkiness of flavor more than anything. This was interesting, but never quite emerged from weirdness.

Honey sweetness and a light fruitiness are almost overwhelmed by spicy hops. There was a lot to like here but I couldn't love it... I think a different brewery might not have had to assert the hops like Ballast Point does.

Nice roast on this porter, with subdued chai spice compared to other "chai" beers of late. This is a huge win, and makes this not taste like soap. All of this is well-balanced with a lactic sweetness to make for a very successful beer.

Very good, as usual. Even better in the brewery restaurant, which was gorgeous.

Fragrant, hoppy double IPA with a candy-like watermelon sheen on top. I'm not sure anyone has managed to make a watermelon beer yet that doesn't bring Jolly Ranchers to mind. Bitter finish.
