Sixpoint Diesel:
Hello cats and kittens and welcome back the one beer website with a CAN do attitude.  Did you see what I did there?  Yeah?  No?  I guess I’ve been away too long from our aluminum friends and their frosty goodness. Today let’s venture back to that brewery where I seem to be on the outside looking in as far as those who like their beers: Sixpoint and today’s beer is their hybrid stout/black IPA called Diesel.  This dark and robust beer pours a thick black color with a coca colored head of foam and a nose of thick pine resin notes.  The beer’s taste starts of silky smooth like a good stout but that flavor component is lost quickly in the mid tongue and back end where the strong notes of hops and pine take over and fill the palate along with touches of coffee and dark chocolate that carry over to the aftertaste very well.  So finally I have beer from Sixpoint that I can have not only respect for, but it is also awesome and very drinkable.  This beer is a seasonal winter beer so it may still be floating out there for you attain some if you so desire.  I’m happy I have a beer from Sixpoint that I actually enjoy and I think you’ll enjoy it too if you are so inclined.  Cheers.
