Doubt is always lurking around the corner. We get that at Duivelsbier. Our beer embodies absolute exuberance, perfectly pairing with those moments when you do choose to take the plunge. Upstream, perhaps even against one’s better judgment? Who’s to say? But on occasion, you are granted a free pass. Some might think that’s kind of diabolical, yet above all, it’s what makes us human.

Bottle. Color: Clear copper, large lightly mocha head. Aroma: Dark malt, caramel, candy sugar. Taste: Candy sugar, caramel, malty with some floral hopbitterness backbone. Over moderate sweet, light bitterness. Medium body, average carbonation. Mwah... Definitely prefer the Geuze beers of this brewery. Nothing special this time...

330ml bottle. Cloudy, chestnut colour with weak, ruby shimmer and average to huge, thick, firm, frothy to creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, off-white head. Slightly toasty and minimally nutty, dark and caramel malty aroma, yeasty fruity overtones, hints of toasted nuts, Brazil nut, a touch of red berries, minimally waxy overtones. Taste is sweet-ish and slightly toasty, minimally sugary, dark and caramel malty, minimally yeasty fruity, hints of caramel, a touch of toasted nuts, rock sugar, red berries; a less sweet strand with hints of cherry and a minimally fruit acidic touch joins in the middle part and takes over in the finish.
Dissolved sugar enriched, watery texture, smooth palate, medium, dense, foamy, prickly carbonation.
A tad sweet and sugary, the cherry partition conciliates tardily - OK.

Bottle at Speciaalbier Café De Markies, Leeuwarden. Aroma is lots of caramel, toffee, sweet dark malt, candy sugar, touch of dried dark fruits. Flavour is very sugary sweet with only a lightly bitterness. Body is medium. Very sweet malty caramel-bomb, not to my liking I’m afraid.

Аромат карамельный, немного даже с нотками жжености, фрукты тоже есть но не явные, и вообще аромат в стиль но слабее обычного. Цвет темный, пенка средняя, крупнопузырчатая. Вкус несмотря на 8 градусов весьма питкий и однобокий хоть и в стилистике. Уже больше темных фруктов, намеки на сливу. При глотке уже снова карамелька жженая. В целом обычный темный эль из Бельгии.

Hits the boozy notes with a sweetness that isn't cloying.
