This is a 9.4% abv gold colored Belgian. We really focused on making a dry champagne like finish to this beer. The Belgian yeast character is the star in this ale with peppery aromas backed with a dried citrus fruit character. This beer drinks like it is 6% abv so be careful. The name is a nod to the great Belgian Golden Strong ale Duvel which means devil.

Hits with an alcohol aroma and flavor, followed by a sweetness that I could not quite describe. I know it’s the style, but seemed a little bit too much of the alcohol flavor overpowering it.

Draught at Salty Pig, 3/4/17.
Clear bronze-golden with a small white head atop showing moderate to low retention.
I get decidedly more fruity, heavily estery aromas than any real heavy pepper here. Lots of apple, nectarine and a strong undercurrent of honey from the malt. Maybe a bit more peach and banana than I’d like, as well.
Sweet and malty in the mouth with pear, peach and banana. Lots of clove and light bubble gum with light alcohol warmth, a sidenote of white pepper and strong lemon rind on the finish. A bit underdeveloped in both yeast and malt, with strong breadiness, light caramel and too much sugar, ultimately, as well as cheap banana and peach esters. Carbonation is ample, fairly engaging with alcohol masked well by the malt. It’s not as bad as most Bruery Belgians, but it’s certainly nothing to write home about.

Poured from bottle dated 5/9/16 hazy golden with a nice white head. Aromas of yeast grain honey bananna and spices. Taste is true to style slightly sweet notes of fruit honey and a nice lingering spice.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a tulip. White head with medium retenion recedes to hug rim. Honey aromas. Crisp with biscuit and honey upfront turning to clove in the lasting finish.
