Description
Brewery Verhaeghe Vichte is a small family-owned Brewery in the southwest of the province of West Flanders, Belgium. The history of the brewery dates back to 1885. Brewery Verhaeghe Vichte was founded as a brewery-malterie by Paul Verhaeghe. Most of the Belgian breweries of this time organised their sales in the immediate vicinity of the brewery. In this sense we can say that the Verhaeghe brewery already showed a great commercial activity in the previous period to the great war. Through a railway line linking Vichte with Brussels, the Verhaeghe brewery was able to sell a significant part of its production on the Brussels market. At the outbreak of the first world war, Paul Verhaeghe responded to the call of the Belgian Government to resist the German occupation economically by stopping the production. The refusal of brewing during the war was responded in turn by the Germans by the dismantling of the brewery. After four years of inactivity, the brewery had lost all its customers in Brussels and was put in front of the investment of a whole new production equipment. In the post war period the brewery remained bind regionally and adapted to new trends in the market. The first brews of beer of low fermentation by the brewery date from this period. The brewery was focused also on the improvement of the quality of its existing beers.

At the present time the Verhaeghe brewery feels itself confirmed in its earlier choice : a little less, but better. Not only in Belgium, but also far outside the Belgian borders, the consumer prefers more and more beers of high quality with a unique identity. The commercial success of the "Duchess of Burgundy" beer,is the best proof : The Duchess of Burgundy is a red brown of West Flanders, matured in oak casks and is brewed according to an ancient method that is geographically linked with the southwest of the province of West Flanders.

Can from Inoue. Nose is cherry, balsamico. Reddish amber with lace. Soft acidity, with oak, cherry, medium to stronger carbonation. Much milder than the regular one, seems a bit diluted.

Même si je ne suis pas le plus grand amateur du style, je dois avouer que cette Duchesse de Bourgogne jouit d'un très bel équilibre avec une palette aromatique très intéressante qui en font une bière à part. Sur le visuel nous sommes sur un brun limpide quasiment sans mousse. LE nez présente une douce acidité avec des arômes de vinaigre balsamique, de chêne, de chocolat, de caramel et de vin et de cassis. En bouche, on retrouve cette alliance sur une acidité parfaitement contrebalancée par une base plus douce. Cela lui donne à la fois une nervosité et une plénitude remarquables. L'alcool, à 6,2 % est quant à lui parfait. Corpulence et longueur sont en plus au rendez-vous pour une bière qui mérite d'être dégustée.

Barbe Noël von Verhaeghe, ein blond obergäriges Bier von 7,2 %, Fläschchen aus Tausch mit Jef - danke sehr! - Dunkelgoldgelb, blank. - In der Nase schweres, fettes helles Malz, Alkohol, leicht parfümierte, süßliche Noten und schwach muffige Hopfung mit Orangeat. - Antrunk fett hellmalzig mit parfümartiger, herbfruchtiger Süße, Kandiszucker, Bitterorange. Deutlich obergärig. Milder rezent, vollmundig, wärmender Alkohol. Im Abgang solide krautige und zitronige Hopfenbittere. - Fette, bockbierähnliche Malzschwere trifft auf belgische parfümierte Süße, endet aber stärker hopfenherb als erwartet. Durchaus trinkbar aber nicht restlos überzeugend. (19.12.2023.)

Chalice at Lucky Monk.Cherry Cacao awesomeness. A little sweet, juvenile. No finesse, but a solid pastry.
