Sixth Day pours a rich, deep mahogany brown with a two-finger tan head. There's an immediate whiff of alcohol/whiskey heat right off the bat from the 8.5% ABV, with strong aromas of figs, raisins, black cherries and dates. Plenty of piney hops at 55 IBU's, but just enough to balance it out without overwhelming with bitterness.
One of the things I like about this part of the winter beer season is that the winter warmers and Christmas ales are generally brewed with a different recipe every year which really gives you something to look forward to.
