Sixth Glass

◎ Appearance

Deep auburn to dark brown in the glass, with substantial clarity despite the rich color. A generous tan head forms and clings to the glass with persistent lacing. Moderate carbonation creates a steady stream of fine bubbles rising through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with dark fruit notes—plum and raisin—layered beneath toasted malt and subtle caramel sweetness. Soft spice emerges from the yeast character, while the alcohol warmth sits gently in the background without dominating. A faint bready quality rounds the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and rich on the palate, with a prominent malty sweetness that unfolds gradually across the mid-palate. Dark stone fruit flavors develop alongside hints of bread crust and a warming alcohol presence. The bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, allowing the malt character to dominate while a light dryness begins to surface in the finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and evolving, with the initial sweetness gradually giving way to a subtle dryness and spice. A lingering warmth and faint yeasty complexity persist on the aftertaste.
