Upright Six (#6)
Six is a dark rye beer with layered flavors including chocolate, caramel, pepper, wood, cherry and tropical fruit. It starts semi-dry and smooth and finishes fully dry and tart with a small bite from the hops. The overall balance of the Six makes it easy to pair with richly prepared meats along with many harder cheeses.

Draft at Beertemple, Amsterdam. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Aroma of cherries, red fruits, caramel, malts. Taste is light tart, moderate sweet, bitterness towards the end and after. Not bad.
LEDER & SPICE GOTT ERHALT’S!!! A LOVER !!! :OOOO. Die dicke Jolle wartet im Keller.....auch hier werde ich berichten ;)... Fass. 15cl/3,25. BEER TEMPLE Amsterdam. Jetzt :)...Es duftet spülspicy, sieht wundervoll aus, mit seiner rötlichen Bräune und der cremigen Haube. Das Mouthfeel ist sanft und der Roggen hinterlässt nicht kratzig, aber durchaus dominant holzig, seine Spuren. Ein Hauch Waldhonig ist ständiger Begleiter und laubiger Brown Hop Ale Flair sowieso. Saison??!!?? Relativ wenig ;)....0,75l/11,15€. DeMolen Shop. Holland.
750 mL bottle shared by ebone1988. The pour is a darker brown/light black with a thicker light khaki head and a lot of soapy lace as it falls down to a thick collar and film. The aroma is definitely heavy on spicy rye. There is a bit of chocolate malt and a light roastiness. It’s got a little bit of a Porter thing going on that I’m definitely not a fan of. The flavor is much of the same. There is a spicy rye and a chocolate malt that drinks like a porter for sure. There is a viscosity and a bitterness about it that isn’t terrible. The mouth feel is robust and brightly carbonated with a bitter roast and spicy rye aftertaste. This isn’t that good at all. Ugh.
Bottle shared with koleminer20. Aroma is rye, spices, slight tart, roasted malt, weird. Appearance is dark brown red, light brown head, would be clear if it wasn’t so dark. Taste is rye, spices, roasted malt, slight cocoa, definitely no saison qualities. Mouthfeel is medium body, light carbonation, roasted malt and rye aftertaste. Overall, just weird. It’s a porter with rye, it says it’s a saison on the label.
75cl, 2016 vintage - Nov2016, B&Co. - An odd yet workable recipe yielding a tasty mix of autumnal Belgian dubbel (ripe orchard fruit, compote), a musty saison leafiness and some rye spice with hefty body supporting it. Earthy, "organic" and subtle use of earthy EU-pedigree hops. Flourishes of iron, liquorice, quince peel, caramel to keep it interesting. Remarkably demure and mature for a US saison. Could pass off as a new, Fantome-inspired, slightly polished dark saison brewed on Belgian soil.
Six is a great rendition of a rye beer and it delivers in many areas. The aroma just climbs out of the glass and the burst you get from the flavor as it hits the mouth is just as satisfying.
Draft sample at Oedipus International Beer Festival 2016. Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 02.07.2016. Pour it amber color with big white head. Aroma tomato, cherries, woody feel, nice. Taste sweet fruity, vanilla, oak woody feel, some bourbon feel, just a pinch sourish finish. Pretty nice balanced.
On tap at Darby’s Gastown. Pours a dark copper with a solid tan head. Aroma is spices, fruity, some caramel and tea notes. Taste is sweet’ish, pretty similar to aroma, but with lots of roasted malt notes. Roasted malt, hoppy bitterness aftertaste.
750 ml bottle poured into a snifter. The beer is a dark brown to black with a huge head of beige foam. The beer reminds me a lot of rootbeer. I get a lot of herbal notes and sugary, root nuances. Sweet overall with moderate spice notes coming through. Medium body and medium carbonation.
On tap at the Oedipus International Beer Festival 2016, Amsterdam - day#1 (02-Jul-2016). Reddish brown colour with a medium sized beige coloured head. Aroma of summer fruits and milk chocolate. Medium body and carbonation. Taste of soft fruit - a little cherry and rye. Tart, sweet, with light bitterness. Not bad, but an acquired taste.

Moderately sour, slightly fruity and a little funky taste of caramel, wild honey, elderberries, red fruits and some cinnamon, followed by a short, slightly tart and quite spicy finish.

Delish! Caramely malts and dark spicy saison notes. Complex and heavy but finishes quite light. Very good.
On tap at Liquid Laundry, Shanghai. Pours hazy brown with white head. Aroma of chocolate with some off tasting sources and milk. A very odd beer.
Bottle, thanks hirigalzkar.
Pours brown with a tan head.
Sweet and smooth brew. Taste of chocolate, rye, some smoke and a little funk.
Bottle. Strange beer that starts out like a regular saison (grassy, citrusy notes) but ends with some somewhat disturbing cholate notes.

Misc.: Got the last bit of a keg; NOTE: Lost all my notes for this one, going with what I remember and wrote on Untappd
Heard good things about this place, but nothing really intrigued me on the tap list when I got there. Pizza was really good. Originally looked at the draft list, but the bartender told me that the drafts were all kicked. Then went with an Evil Twin Saison, which apparently was out as well. The lady told me that there might be a little bit left of this beer (probably because I ordered a Saison the first time) and she was right. I might have received one of the last two or three cups. NOTE: Read #6 Saison on the board, but this appears to have been a #6 Rye Beer according to Beer Advocate.
Poured an amber, clear color with 1-to-2 fingers of off-white head when I got it. Good amount of lacing on the sides of the glass. Good amount of retention on the way down. (Sight - 4.00)
Smelled red apple, plum, dark fruits, light burnt toffee and earthy grass. (Smell - 4.00)
Taste was just as good, mainly getting red apple, plum, purple grape and light toffee. Some wintry notes - faint molasses and some rye spiciness - coming in as well. (Taste - 4.00)
Medium body. Oily texture. Soft carbonation. Long finish. (Feel - 4.00)
Really wish I would not have deleted my notes, as I enjoyed this one. Would have it again for sure. (Overall - 4.00)
