From Brouwerij Verhaeghe in Belgium comes their "Duchesse De Bourgogne"a Flanders Red Ale. The beer pours a deep redish brown colour with little to no head. The aroma consists of balsamic vinegar, cherry, dark fruit, some sweetness and maybe a hint of malt. The flavour is of balsamic vinegar, cherry, dark fruits and maybe a hint of toffee sweetness. The alcohol content comes in at 6%. This beer is both tart and sweet and tastes amazing! Small bottle or big bottle I always seem to wish I had more of this beer to enjoy.
Commercial Description: Belgian top-fermented reddish-brown ale, a blend of 8 and 18 months old beers following the careful maturation in oak casks.
