Pine-resin opening, almost over the edge on pungency, but this does resolve into a more mellow caramel finish. Fizzy, a touch sour.

The flavor isn't bad, but this very much comes across as a watered-down wheat ale; light clove, banana-like esters, but a kind of impurity of flavor through the middle that ends in kind of a too-dry yeasty tartness. Slightly salty on the finish.

A pretty solid caramel brown ale, a bit of brackish/roast dryness, but I really can't say this says coffee very strongly to me. Lightly sweet and mellow.

Crisp, caramel, sweet, significant roast bitterness. The smoke is an undertone, but a nice one. This isn’t a campfire.

Extremely pungent, resinous, dry, woody. There are times when I appreciate a beer like this but I kind of wanted something drinkable?

Like an extra strong version of the Icicle Helles I had earlier today but with a touch more banana. Finishes dry, bitter, tacky.

Lager with a drying, apple/cereal opening. Very light, clean and tasty, but the opening salvo of flavor is welcome. It does get increasingly tacky in the finish as it goes on.

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.
