Logs for this venue

Nice saison, tangy, flavorful - maybe almost too flavorful. I don't get a ton of brett, which I think would have offset the intensity of the flavor a bit.
Draft
Strangely this follows right on top of the Black Marble, it's got many of the same flavors but without the nitro more interesting flavors poke through - primarily cereal and coffee. It's not especially carbonated, but it does prickle a little.
Draft
Very smooth from nitro, hints of roast and black coffee, maybe just the slightest bit of blackcurrant, after which a bit of a sourness comes to the forefront. Seems more characterful than a Guinness, but I still don't love nitro.
Nitro Draft
Surprising flavor, as it seems to be dominated by something resembling an earthy, vegetal coffee, both in smell and flavor. There's the faintest bit of funk poking through, but that's the only sign of farmhouse in this beer.
Draft
Definitely a beer in the lemon-pine strata-sphere. But very good example of that. If I have any complaints it's that it's overwhelmingly in the juicy-fruity arena with not much counterbalance
Draft
It's deifnitely spice-heavy, so if that's not what you like about pumpkin beers you might want to avoid. But it does seem balanced by the overall strength of this beer for me. This might appeal more if you're in the mood for a spiced liquor rather than a beer though.
Draft
A much better experience than the Evasion. Bright, only a hint of orange, lots of banana, finishes spicy. Kind of wish there was a stronger orange quality but at least this tastes like a beer.
Draft
Only learned after the fact that this is a gluten-free brewery. Maybe that's why it's missing any trace at all of cereal? Starts with a perfumey orange-flavor, a little candy-like, and then proceeds straight into bitter oils. Did not like.
Draft
A nice, earthy coffee flavor up-front followed by caramel. I don't really like how this finishes though, very tacky and a bit metallic-tart.
