duchesse de bourgogne

The Duchesse de Bourgogne is a truly royal brew that comes from the Belgian brewery Verhaeghe. The exquisite beer creation is brewed with flavor-intensive roasted malts and highly aromatic hops and is stored in oak barrels for several months after completion. The oak wood gives the beer its unique character and helps it reach its full splendor.

Verhaeghe's Duchesse flows into the glass in a noble chestnut tone and shines wonderfully in all facets of ruby red. A slightly tinted foam crowns the beer and exudes a fine scent that is vaguely reminiscent of heavy red wine. Intense notes of red fruits and a spicy hint of vanilla round off the overall olfactory impression. The initial drink presents a voluminous beer with tangy carbonation and a variety of flavor nuances. Notes of red grapes, dried dark fruits and spicy oak caress the palate. A fine acidity accompanies the overwhelmingly intense play of aromas and gives the beer a certain lightness. Soft caramel notes and a hint of apple elegantly complement the aromas. The finish is crisp and sour and to the point.

The full aroma of the beer develops at an optimal drinking temperature of eight to twelve degrees. A bulbous goblet also ensures that all the flavor nuances come into play and that the individual notes reach the right receptors in the mouth. With a beer as complex and intense as Duchesse de Bourgogne, the preparation is definitely worth it.
