Sometimes, when you are enraptured at a concert, you cannot - and will not - accept the end of the show. The show must go on! An encore must be played. Originally, I thought would only make an Abbey Single or perhaps a Belgian Style Pale Ale for Sixpoint. After providing samples of my first creation, the crowd demanded more. Bring it back! If someone demands you to bring it back, you cannot come with the same force and intensity as you did before. NO! You must elevate the intensity, and take things to a higher level. Enter the Sixpoint Encore. Our Belgian Dubbel pours a deep copper color with a massive, mousse-like head. In the aroma, expect a symphony of spices, toffee, chocolate, and banana. For the discerning enthusiast, see if you can pick up a whiff of noble hops. The Sixpoint Dubbel starts out sweet, but I intentionally raise the hop levels of this beer to keep it balanced. As this beer ages over time, the sweetness will overcome, but not before the hop bitterness challenges it to a long and respectful duel. Wow! Can it really be 8.2% alcohol? It’s so drinkable! The show must go on! Could a triple encore be in the works? MAKE SOME NOISE!
