JMerritt (1120), Macomb, Illinois, USA Jul 8, 2008 Murky brown with a nice light-brown head with excellent retention. Aroma is musty, full of dried, candied fruit notes such as plum, apricot and dates, caramelly malts and molasses. Alcohol aroma is prevalent, but not overwhelming. Moderately sweet, lightly astringent flavor, loads of cobwebby, dusty fruits, gingerbread, dried plum, and spices (nutmeg, a little cinnamon, allspice). Liquid fruitcake is a pretty good summation. Tingly, moderate-to-high carbonation, which I find perfect for the style. A fantastic beer, easily the best I’ve had in recent memory. unixrab (13), USA Dec 29, 2007 I love a beer that can cellar and be good for up to 10 years!!! This is a great beer...second only to the Almighty Unfiltered Wheat, simply because it can’t do everything BUW can do. logantownsend (15), bonner springs, Kansas, USA Jul 9, 2008 I gave this beer the privilege of my first rating. An amber colored pour with nice lacy tan head. Smells of fruits and nuts with a slight spice undertone. Delicious balance in flavor with the aromas coming into the flavor and masking the rather strong alcohol content well. Slightly carbonated yet still smooth and thick, finishes well and leaves a slight burn of alcohol. An extremely good beer that has kept me coming back. My local boulevard favorite! bullevard (4), Overland Park, Kansas, USA does not count Jan 27, 2008 The Sixth Glass is a nice dark amber color with a tan heAd. The smell of the beer was intoxicating, a sign of things to come, it smelled of a Mediterranean fruit fair, figs, dates and raisins. The taste was full and multilayered. On the top was the fruit flavors and on the bottom was a bit of a good dessert wine with some chocolate in between. The high alcohol content affects the taste slightly when drinking at room temperature taking away a little bit of the pleasure of drinking the Sixth Glass.
