Our bedrock Brown Ale, and one of the first beers ever brewed by Sixpoint. A smooth, malty trip down a hop-lined Brooklyn street.

Brownstone pours a dark burnt caramel color with a wealthy mocha tan head and generous carbonation.
On the nose; toffee, breaded malts, burnt sugar and lively yeast are on parade.
As for the taste, this brew in wonderfully bitter with just enough sweetness to balance things out. But I mean - this is one bitter brew with heavy handed hopping!
Well constructed like all six point products I've enjoyed, this one seems like a prototype and foundation for many other varieties they brew.

It pours a nice brown color and yields the same color body. A great one inch white foamy head appears and lasts for a good two minutes. Nice spider-web foamy lacing appears and lasts practically forever. The smell has the hops in front of the malts. A slight nuttiness comes through as the beer warms. The taste has pretty much the same smells in the tastes combining and eventually yielding a slight enjoyable sweetness that I really like. The palate is about a light to medium with nothing harsh on the tongue. Overall, this is good. I’d have it again.
