Cloudy dark amber colour. Big, fluffy, light caramel head. Woody, lightly citric aroma with some sort of crystal/munich malt. Toasty, earthy character with breadcrusty notes, spicy rye and a fairly bitter finish. At times surprisingly chewy. Distinctive if a little unpolished.

Fairly dark brown colour. Nutty aroma - lots of chestnuts and almonds. Pretty cool, that. Toasty, slightly malty character with a decent nuttiness factor. The beginnings of a decent brown ale here.

Slightly muddy dark brown colour. Smoky aroma with a light roast accent. Thick with malty notes - some oatmeal, bit of smoke, toffee. Lightish body, but clean and balanced. I like the way the smoke is strong, but still complementary rather than dominant.

Dark amber-brown colour. Big toffee, fig and peach aroma. Surprisingly lightish in flavour, given the size of the brew. There are hints of caramel, a light plasticy note.. Clean, flavourful but not as dynamic as the aroma promised me.

This is my favorite one out the four sixpoint products I’ve tried - cloudy and nearly black - frothy, capuccino-like head - aroma is nutty, with notes of plum, brown sugar - barely any smoke in the aroma or flavor, but that’s alright ’cause this sucker is tasty - robust, chewy chocolate and caramel malts - just a slight roastiness, but nothing I would call smokey - gimme some more!

Deep brown color with an almost "from the cask" looking head (nice and bubbly) - nutty, wheaty aroma - decent body, with a malt/hop ratio that is more like an amber than a brown, but I’m not going to complain about that - a well-constructed brown ale.

A pretty standard belgian golden ale - nothing is happening that is all that striking, but the brewers are showing that they can make a solid, true to style belgian, with a decent "flavor progression" - starts out lemony and spicy - gradually works in a really grainy, bready malt flavor - nice.

Cloudy dark red with a brownish tint, impressive frothy head - musty and spicy aroma that reminds me more of a weissenbock than a dubbel - sweet, but not cloying - hints of chocolate and dried fruit (prune, raisin) - finish thins out a bit, but this is solid - I think these guys make better products that Brooklyn does, and I look forward to watching this brewery grow.
