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.

Duchesse Cherry 6,3% ABV. Dunkelrot und blank mit wenig Schaum. Es riecht leicht nach Kirsche und ganz intensiv nach Holzfass und Brett. Der Antrunk beginnt vollmundig, angenehm rezent und sehr sauer. Im Geschmack nur wenig Kirsche, dafür viel Balsamico, minimale aber spürbare Restsüße. Adstringierender Nachtrunk mit wenig Hopfen. Super gut. Note 9 Hop 2 vollmundig 5 rezent 5 Säure 7

Bottle at home. Pours deep copper with long lasting off-white head. Nose is yeasty, grainy with a touch of sweet booze. Taste is basically the same with medium, sweet and boozy finish. Light bodied with soft to average carbo, drinks well below the abv. Nothing outstanding, but certainly something pleasant and interesting.

Bottle at home. Pours reddish brown with off-white head. Nose is funky brett, vineous notes, low woody touch, fruits. Taste is a beautiful, rich mixture of funk, grapes, woody character, sweet and tart fruits. It's actually so rich and deep taste-wise that it's on the verge of overwhelming. Light to medium body, average to high carbonation, pleasant sipper. I'm glad that I somehow missed this until now, I might have not appreciated it as much before.
