tupalev (2311), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Feb 4, 2008 Cask at Gingerman, NYC. Nice murky dark brown, good creamy head. Great aroma - sweet burnt malt with some chocolate notes. Tsste is excellent - rich burnt malt, really sweet and chocolaty. Very fresh - what a great opportunity to try it fresh on cask! If I wasn’’t a ratings whore tourist, I would have drank this all rainy Friday afternoon. Great stuff, likely the best brown ale I have ever had. RblWthACoz (959), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 2, 2008 Pours a dark brown. Nice off white head. Nose is nice and deep with a sweet tone. Flavor is deep, robust, and at just the right levels. You know you’re drinking a brown ale with this one. If I were blind and tasted it, I would know exactly what it was. Nice lasting caramel aftertaste. Feel is smooth on liquid with a great bubble on the tongue. It kind of stays with you and nibbles on your mouth long after you are done (the bubble that is).Extremely drinkable. Another great brew from Sixpoint and a beautiful take on the style. bonbright7 (157), Huntington, New York, USA Mar 30, 2007 I had this great brown ale at Bobbique on tap which was well matched with my tray of ribs. The medium body of it made it easy to drink and it was lightly hopped with the snappiness one gets from most of the Sixpoint ales. Aurelius (2507), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Oct 11, 2005 Sweet, leathery, grainy, dark syrup aroma. Cloudy chocolate brown, laced head. Fizzy, a little homebrew character, nice bittering on the back of the tongue. Some green nuts, very mild astringency. A little heavier than session weight. Superb balance. jah noth (941), Rochester, New York, USA May 24, 2008 Sweet malt and toffee nose. Nice light brown in color with amber/garnet edges. Rich in maltiness, slightly bready, nutty with toffee and very little in the way of roastiness. A tinge of hops. A nice brown. Draft at MacGregor’s Henrietta.
