Feral & Caboose colab – Mango Ganguly Mango Lassi IPA : smells like mango, sweet malt but not cloying, nice bitterness, lemon pith, grapefruit. This was very nice
La Sirens – Seven Sirens: Coffee? Lemony, sour, slightly tart, dark brown-red, really really damn good.
Feral – Raging Flem: Yeasty, Belgian yeast ants. Not bad, but all about the yeast character.
Beer Farm – Belgian Sour: This was nice, a bit bready.
Dainton/Bacchus/White Lies – Grannys Cranny Gose, 2017, 4.5%ABV, 355ml can.
This is a collaboration between Dainton, Bacchus and White Lies Brewing.
Drank on 8/12/2017, from I.B.S.
Appearance: 2.5 – Cloudy, orange witha hint of pink/red. Nice head on pour that diasapears fully with no real lacing.
Smell/Aroma: 2 – Funky, very lacto acid funky.
Taste: 2.5 – Sour, tart, sour cherry but not fruity, cherry skin. A slight bready wheaty aftertaste. A little salty.
Mouthfeel/Palate: 2 – Fizzy, slightly puckering, bitey like lemon rind.
Overall: 2.5 – This is a nice sour beer.
Modus Operandi – Cascadian Howl Black IPA
Cheeky Monkey – Silverback RIS
Pirate – Stout
Hop Nation – The Kalash RIS
More, but missing.
I am unsure why this company is charging the same for a 6 of this as a 6 of some far better import like Sierra Nevada…

Its not BAD, its not great either, but its a local and major brand…
Black Brewing – BaoBao Milk Stout
Founders – Stout
Brouwerij Duvel Moortgat NV – Maredsous 8 Brune Dubbel
Nail – Huge Dunn Imperial Brown Ale
Feral Brewing – BORIS Russian Imperial Stout
Brauerei Heller-Trum / Schlenkerla – Fastenbier Rauchbier
The Black Brewing milk Stout is very sessionable, Bitter in a good way from the malt and the hops, but balanced and not overbearing, actually quite light for the style. And made in Margaret River, nice.
The Maredsous 8 was good, it was quite high on the alcohol front as far as taste. Not bad, but not the best for the style, as far as my tastes.
The Fastenbier is interesting, a lighter actual beer, but still with the same smokeyness as their Urbock and such.
The rest are good and most likely reviewed previously
Brew Dog – Santa Paws Christmas Scotch Ale
Moon Dog – Love Tap Double Lager
