Duchesse De Bourgogne - Red Ale

Duchesse de Bourgogne is a truly royal brew from the Belgian brewery Verhaeghe The exquisite beer creation is brewed with intensely flavorful roasted malts and highly aromatic hop varieties and is aged in oak barrels for several months after completion The oak wood gives the beer its unique character and helps it achieve its full splendor

Verhaeghe's Duchesse flows into the glass in a noble chestnut hue and shines beautifully in all facets of ruby red A lightly tinted head crowns the beer and exudes a fine aroma that is reminiscent of heavy red wine Intense notes of red fruit and a spicy hint of vanilla round off the overall olfactory impression The first sip presents a full-bodied beer with lively carbonation and diverse flavor nuances of notes of red grapes, notes of red grapes, dried dark fruits and spicy oak caress the palate A fine acidity accompanies the overwhelmingly intense aroma and gives the beer a certain lightness Soft caramel notes and a hint of apple elegantly complement the aromas The finish is crisp, sour and to the point

The full aroma of the beer unfolds at an optimum drinking temperature of eight to twelve degrees A bulbous goblet glass also ensures that all the flavor nuances come to the fore and that the individual notes reach the right receptors in the mouth With a beer as complex and intense as the Duchesse de Bourgogne, preparation is always worthwhile
