Every year, our master brewers search for exceptional spirits with the goal of creating a unique Duvel, different yet still recognizable. This year, we aged our Duvel in barrels in which the well-known Tequila Anejo was aged for 1 to 3 years. The typical taste of Duvel is enriched with a smooth caramel and vanilla note, while the characteristic hints of tequila remain clearly recognizable.
Perfectly paired with characterful cheeses, exotic fruit, or dark chocolate. Serve this Duvel at 8°C in a small tasting glass to fully appreciate its complex flavors.

Bottle purchased from Café de Oude Sluis, Rotterdam. Almost clear, deep golden body under a fine white head. Aroma is complex and unusually, super smooth malt, mild toffee, some kind of undefined fruit or herb (Agave), mild wood and surprisingly mild Tequila taste. The alcohol is recognized but not boozy at all. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Can’t believe this silk smooth beer at 12% ABV.
