Description
It all began when Jan-Léonard Moortgat and his wife founded the Moortgat brewery farm in 1871. Around the turn of the century, Moortgat was one of the over 3,000 breweries operating in Belgium. Jan-Leonard experimented by trial and error, and his top-fermented beers were soon greatly appreciated in the brewery's home town of Puurs and far beyond. Before long, the Brussels bourgeoisie was also won over by his beers. Business was booming and Jan-Leonard's two sons, Albert and Victor, joined the company. There was a clear division of labour: Albert became the brewer, Victor was responsible for delivering the beer to Brussels by horse and dray. In 1923 the production of Duvel began with just a few crates. Today, Duvel is enjoyed literally all around the world (in over 50 countries) by countless beer lovers. The beer is still brewed with profound respect for the original recipe and the time it needs to mature

Bottle. Bready malt aroma with notes of spicy Belgian yeast, banana, clove, coriander and grainy malt. Pours clear golden colored with a large white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with bready malt, banana and clove flavors as well as having a lively mouthfeel. Finishes dry but smooth with spicy Belgian yeast, grainy malt and coriander flavors. Excellent.

Tap @ Patricks. Unclear golden orange body under a decent white head. Aroma has some citric fruits and fresh grass with orange peel. Taste is sweet pale malt, citric fruits, berries and moderate bitterness. I think the hop impact is actually more in taste than aroma. This is one of the better results from the Duvel triple hops experience.

Backlog August 2016. Clear pale golden body under a big, fluffy white head. Aroma has pale malt, grass, pepper, slightly spicy and some fruit. Taste quiet nice, sweet but not much impact from the hops compared with the original version as I prefer in this case.

330 ml bottle, as Duvel Brewmasters' Selection Imperial Blond, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 10.0%. Fairly clear pale golden colour, large white head. Aroma of spicy Belgian ale yeast, white kandij sugar syrup, alcohol and stewed yellow plums. The flavour has the same elements, but is not too sweet, and surprisingly refreshing for its strength. Moderate hops.
