I don't know if this is the same as the old Nut Brown so I'm logging it separately for now. This is a very solid brown, with a toasty, dry cracker character.

Less toasty than the brown, slightly fruity on the nose. Finishes bitter. This is hoppy for a Scotch ale.

Briefly tastes like a pilsner but gets very hoppy very quickly. I'd say this ventures clearly into IPA territory. It's especially bitter on the back end, but I guess I do taste honey?

Prickly and acrid. I guess you have to go somewhere if the Boss was already where an IPA usually is.

Once again, this was quite sour, Flanders-like, but with a brightness that is IMO off-putting. Bears no resemblance at all to the Brown Ale in this flight, which is what I'd hoped for. I don't know why I keep taking chances with the barrel aged beers here; they've all been like this.

Quite tart, very passion fruit. Finishes clean although with a bit of cereal funk to make it more interesting than one-note.

Fool me twice. Sour, vinegar-like, burnt sugar/caramel. Buffalo Trace barrels used, we preteneded the first time that it was a wine barrel and we could excuse the taste, or something went wrong, but now I have to assume this flavor is by design.

Just a good solid kolsch, even if it is a bit on the sweet, uncomplicated side. At this point I'll take uncomplicated.

Opens with a really rounded ruby red grapefruit flavor but very quickly gets super dank, to the point where I started thinking of armpits. That's not a good place to be when you're drinking a beer.

Opens with a lemony pine but gets unusually dry really fast, almost salty. Weirdly, after the grapefruit IPA this one tastes more like grapefruit.

Kind of a watery cola opening, pretty thin mouthfeel. Finishes pretty strong in both bitterness and an almost smoky roast.

A little simplistic, sweet. Water fruit. Detergent finish? A bit of that rubbery, acrid bitterness.

Sweet, smooth, a little uric. Leaves the tongue a little tingly. Bitter finish. Pretty standard, decent lager.

Sweet, slightly rooty, caramel amber. Simplistic, but ok.

Caramel, smooth. Bitter finish.

Watery and rooty, which isn’t helped by nitro. A big disappointment after the Holy Mountain earlier today.

Bright, unexpected pineapple notes up front. Finishes with a buttery cereal that becomes a bit of a funky bitterness on the back end

Tart blackberry opening moved to a cloudy sweetness. Finish is a bit weird, a bit rubbery?

Not a scotch ale, but decent as a sour.

This was in no way a Scotch ale. It was much more like an Oud Bruin, sour, maybe a hint of caramel. Definitely weird for what I was expecting, and I wasn’t alone in this opinion.

Belgiany vinegar to sour. Scotch ale? Acrid finish.
