New Holland Dragon's Milk Reserve: S'mores (unknown release)
We've replaced their s'mores with barrel aged nonsense. Let's see if they notice . . .

Fairly bitter with not much in the way of juicy flavors I was led to expect.

Has a lot of what I like in a pumpkin beer; a touch of caramel, fruit, not much in the way of pie spice, but this is sour, and feels like it’s accidentally so.
Bottle

This is really nice. Good body, effervescent, flavors are actually pretty subtle, the text says "Apple and subtle spice"

It's okay, but tastes a little funky. I think it's not for me in the end.

Liefmans Kriek-Brut (unknown release)
Wow, this is really good! Fruity, cherry beer.
Draft at Bavarian Lodge

Unsweet, pine-lemon, cereal, pepper. Complex melange of aromatics right on the backend. Finishes bitter but clean.

All the old logs are correct. This time I only stole a sip from Roy because I feared the headache.
Draft at New Glarus Riverside Brewery


Bit cherry flavored. You bourbon barrel aged weirdos might like this.

54 home runs! This is both a sweet lager and grassy; assertive. Slightly uric, brackish finish. Really like this.

Very light on pineapple but the chili is assertive and pleasant, and more than a little spicy. I'm a sucker for (non-stout) chili beers and this one hits the spot.

Definitely lots of lime, with a primarily citric tartness. There's a faint tinge of sweetness but this is more lime than it is pie to me. Lime ain't a bad way to go though.

It's possible this is on the other side of the aging hump but you can't tell. Lots of coffee, so smooth. Bourbon/caramel and no alcohol harshness. Just about perfect.
Bottle at Odin Lounge

Smooth, definitely nutty, definitely marshmallow. It's thick in a way that I've never experienced in a beery, as if they added xanthan gum to simulate the feeling of a marshmallow. Ever had thick water? It's not that far off.
Bottle at Odin Lounge

Very smoothed out, just on the edge of getting raw on the alcohol side, but this is still so nice. A little more smoky, tiny bit tart, bourbon finish.
Bottle at Odin Lounge

Toasty, lightly malty, light fragrance of apple or pumpkin. Solid Oktoberfest.

Every "golden stout" I've had has overcompensated in some way that breaks into the uncanny valley, and this is no exception. A little too sweet, a little too milky, but still, overall not bad.
Draft at Thirsty Hop, Kirkland

Tastes like light cocoa, maybe marshmallow, just a hint of coconut. Light, sweet, but not cloying, really tasty and remains so for the full pint.
