Our brewers have been conducting an exciting taste experiment: maturing Duvel in old, wooden barrels. Of course it is not just nostalgia which makes our brewers tick, but also the will and the passion to use this old technique to uncover new flavors and aspects of Duvel. Our brewers have selected oak bourbon barrels and are now taking their time - a lot of time - to let the barrels' flavors and aromas and the beer influence and enrich each other.
As the beer will mature for a longer period, this “barrel-aged” Duvel will be darker in color than the traditional Duvel, with a higher alcohol percentage and less bitterness.

28/IV/19 - sample @ Zythos Bierfestival 2019 (Leuven), BB: n/a - (2019-648) Thanks to nathanvc, 77ships & Anke for sharing today's beers!
Clear amber orange beer, practically no head. Aroma: lots of sweet sugary malts, diacetyl, bit spicy, yoghurt, wow, this is very bad. Another Duvel Moortgat beer with diacetyl? Really? MF: ok carbon, medium body, lots of alcohol burning in the throat. Taste: sweet start, very gentle bitterness, lots of diacetyl, very buttery, some citrus, yoghurt, bad. Aftertaste: soft bitterness, alcohol, caramel notes, bit sugary, lots of alcohol, diacetyl. Am I seeing a price-related bias in the other ratings? So glad I didn't cash out €25 for a bottle of butterbeer... Tasting this one at a festival, gave me the opportunity to rate it without any price-related bias.

Schon stark! Bourbon sowohl in Nase als auch Geschmack sehr präsent. Nicht boozy. Stark malziger, süßer Duvelkörper. Passt.
