The reason the name works is because it is not one "pure" beer. It is actually two beers brewed separately, then blended and aged together (almost like cigar tobacco). In this case, its an English-style old ale and an Imperial IPA (Dogfish 90 min).
I've had this beer a few times before, but its been a while and I've grown as a beer drinker a lot since then, so I was excited to sit down and try this beer again. We had it on tap at Zeno's and I may have drank half the sixtol on my own, I think got it every time I wasn't working.
Each 10 ounce I got was dark brown with a hint of orange, with a finger or so of tan head. The smell was caramel and sweet malts. The taste was oak and vanilla mixed with an sweet Double IPA. The Burton had a very smooth finish, and its the taste of the DFH 90min that lingers and is the last flavor to leave your palate.
For some reason I feel that the beer tasted better from the tap than a bottle. Usually I feel that people who think beer tastes better out of a keg are full of it, but this time, I had to swallow my pride and agree.
