Verhaeghe Vichte Duchesse De Bourgogne

Another beautiful Belgian. Deep copper. Delightfully sour Flemish vapors.

Crikey Moses!

An entirely unexpected mouthful of fresh ripe berries and sour, but not too sour, cherries. Pardon my schoolyard French but fuck me this is brilliant. The dour Flemish parlour maid (or duchess perhaps) with the the crow is a cunning distraction that might well keep the curious beer drinker at bay. Despite containing no fruit, the berries seduce the palate. Despite containing hops only the most discerning drinker would spot it.

If you see a bottle of Duchess; buy, borrow or steal it. It is worth it.

That is all.

100/100
