Introduced in 2007, the 6288 Stout is our winter season specialty beer. It is a rather lengthy process to brew the 6288 Stout. It is brewed with 5 different malted barleys, using American and French hops. Keeping with the Tuckerman tradition, it is cold-conditioned, dry-hopped and bottle conditioned using the krausening process. The fermentation takes about two weeks, twice the time of our other beers and conditioning takes three months! It’s worth the wait, as the extra time gives this special brew time to mellow, offering a very smooth dark, malty flavor.

Poured from a 16oz can into a glass.. Pours a deep dark brown with a ruby hue when held to the light. It is topped by a nice thick creamy off white foamy head that has staying power. The smell is of dark malts and caramel with a taste that follows suit. Over a good solid American style stout. It is worth a re-visit.

Draught @ Brewery: This one pours an opaque dark brown. There was no head or lacing. Good nose: chocolate and some roastiness. The taste is good. Some chocolate, roasted malts, touch of bitterness, medium body. Very smooth.

From the 12 fl. oz. bottle - 2017 batch. Sampled on March 18, 2017.
The pour is dark brown with a modest tan head that leaves a touch of lacing as it fades. And it fades.
The aroma is roasted sweet malts, the tiniest hint of cherry, maybe a papery thing, and a low earthy hop profile.
The body is medium of better.
The taste is rich, malty, and sweet with a feint cantaloupe-like fruity finish. It does not linger long but I get it. They have not released this beer in many years and I am pleased to see that they brought it back.

Poured from a grolsch bottle 2 weeks after it was tapped. Kept in cold conditions, and allowed to breath approximately two minutes before being poured into a tulip glass. Just the right amount of carbonation: boasts a creamy mocha head that sinks rapidly, leaving a thin ring around the perimeter. Dark, black, coffee color. Roasty coffee and baked bread aroma. Upon tasting, you get dark chocolate with some esters of raspberry. Overall, a solid stout, even after being stored in a grolsch bottle for two weeks.
