Brewer: Verhaeghe (West-Vlaanderen, Belgium)
Beer: Duchesse de Bourgogne
Style: Flemish Sour Ale
abv: 6.2%
Background: Bottle from the store.
Appearance: Pours dark red with a large tan head.
Aroma: Tart aroma of cherries, vinegar, sour grapes, leather, and wood. It develops some chocolaty notes as it warms.
Flavor: Sour, but not overly so. Fruity and yeasty, like a light red wine. The finish is slightly tart cherry and dry, woody oak.
Notes: Strange mouthfeel—oily but light. Great stuff.
Rating: 4.1 out of 5
