Hoppy ale with notable caramel, but this screams IPA more than scotch ale. If I were really banking on the style I’d be disappointed.

Very much on the IPA side of the barleywine fence. Clean, woody, round hop flavors. English style?

Perfectly serviceable stout. Creamy, light roast, but a thicker mouthfeel. Just a hint of sourness.

A bit like the 2021 but is a little tangier, has a little more roast character, some vegetal hop bitterness and some funk. It’s more complex but at the same time less coherent.

Sweet, bready, caramel, a little cola-like, a little syrupy. A little flat, maybes from age, which enhances the booze content.

Dry pine-resin IPA, lingering bitterness, oily. Flavorwise it dissipates pretty cleanly.

A lot going on in this one. It's good, but I'm hard pressed to actually describe the progression of flavors here. Definitely starts pale-ish though.

Very roasty, sweet, medium mouthfeel. The bitterness builds up pretty fast but there’s a lot to like here. It is in no way smooth though.

A decent if unremarkable malty amber. Bit of caramel, muted hops, not much of what I would call a rye bite. It certainly accompanied the food.

Similar to the Cult Classic on the surface, a little more simplistic, almost watery compared to expectations against the “lighter” style.

Thin mouthfeel, initially herbaceous, almost minty, but that resolves into a hoppy roundness very quickly. Moderately roasty, finishes bitter.

Coffee, light, roast, creamy, cola-like.

Not skunky like last time but a bit over-funked. Sits somewhat tacky and sour in the throat which is a shame because there are nice kolsch flavors on top.

I think this beer might have been skunked, or it certainly skirted the edge. I think there was a pretty good, flavorful Kolsch here, once.
