Sixpoint S.M.P.

Thanks to Eugene for sharing and to Shane for giving the bottle to Eugene to share with me. Dark black beer with a thick light brown, lingering head. Very rich sweet creamy rich chocolate aroma, some licorice and a bit of cocoa. Soft roasty quality with a shot of salty smokiness throughout. Earthy chewy soft finish. Rich and chewy sweet, but not at all cloying. The soft roast and smoke serve as a counterpoint to the cocoaish maltiness. Full-bodied with a bit of peppery alcohol on the back.

12oz bottle from the super cooler brewer/owner, Shane. As far as I understand it’s a homebrewering like hand bottle. It pours a completely black body with a lightly tan colored head, which is pretty strong. The head never really goes away and leaves a strong lacing. Aroma is strong as well with maltiness that is slick and oily. Then comes some stinging alcohol with light meat smoke. It’s light smoke with thick malt and touches of alcohol, its cool. Taste is again strong with alcohol, prunes and smoke. It finishes with a toffee candy. The body is a bit light for all the strong flavors and the alcohol touches and it tickles the tongue. In general the alcohol is too much but the other characteristics make up for it.
