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.

Barwa ciemnorubinowa, nieco zamglone, piana jasno różowa, dość obfita, dość trwała. W aromacie sporo czekolady, nieco wiśni i octu. W smaku półwytrawne, wiśnia, czekolada, czerwone wino, średnia kwaskowość, ocet. Po ogrzaniu wychodzą taniny i nuty skórzane, lekkie przyprawy na języku. Wysycenie w normie, ciało też. Bardzo dobre, jednak podstawka była wyraźnie lepsza.

Barwa ciemnorubinowa, lekko zamglone, piana biała, średnio obfita, dość trwała. W aromacie wiśnia, lekki ocet, nuty korzenno-drewniane. W smaku dość wytrawne, spora kwaskowość, wiśnia, fenole, czerwone wino, trochę nut skórzanych a la bretty. Nieco przypraw i tanin na finiszu. Alkohol nie wyczuwalny, lekka słodycz od owoców. Bogate i złożone. Prawie tak znakomite jak wersja podstawowa.

33 cL bottle. Pours a dark, ruby brown color, with a big, bubbly, beige head. The aroma is bright cherry, milk chocolate, lime, vanilla, and light earth. The chocolate really comes forward in the aftertaste. Sweet and sugary, with a mellow, bright sour flavor. Light, zesty, and slick. Easy, beautiful sour.

OK, so I had the duchesse years ago and I really digged it & liked it; and I thought this was the same beer but it's not. So, here goes: Pour is darker brownish, almost dark marron in nature. Smell is that of a sweeter wild fermented beer. Ummmmm, taste is so good, I love these flemish beers, they are so enjoyable. Has all the hallmarks of the first duchesse I did. Yea, this stuff is good, I should have bought a six pack of these. Crisp fun cutting co2 too! Man, so enjoyable, so refreshing, just like a good ol' rodenbach. Did they figger out a way to mass produce this stuff? considering the price on the clearance rack? Less than 2$??? Every beer should be a tart flem, ferget about those stupid ass IPA, this is what the old country beer is all about, yummy, yummy. Oh, its all gone, darn, darn!! Wow, a lovely beer tasting experience.

Bottle. Clear dark red mahagony with a small white head leaving no lasting impression. Aroma of balsamico vinegar and wood. Taste of cherries, raspberries, wood and vinegar. Sour and tart. Low bitterness. Medium carbonation. Easy drinking, very refreshing and so very delicious that I struggle again to not just chug it away.
