Diesel

Diesel, Sixpoint Brewery, Brooklyn, NY
(Stout, Rated 92)

Characterized as a stout, but like everything else Sixpoint does, this beer doesn't follow labels. Definitely part stout, part black IPA, and completely amazing. Nice dark, rich pour with a tan head. Roasted malt aroma with faint piney hops. Taste starts on the bitter side, smooths out with some chocolate and coffee notes, and finishes with more hop goodness.

I discovered Sixpoint Brewery less than a year ago and they have quickly become one of my favorite breweries. I love that every beer they make breaks molds and bucks trends.
