Brouwerij Verhaeghe- Duchesse de Bourgogne.
This is a beer I have been wanting to try. I have seen it around at a few places, but usually there is something I have wanted more.
It pours out a dark red/brown color with an off white head. The first whiff is both sweet and tart, hints of caramel ice cream, port, fig. There is nice carbonation with a fuller mouth feel probably owing to the sweeter portion of the blend. The flavor has some aged balsamic vinegar, both sweet and fruity with a bit of a tarter finish. Ripe dark fruits abound.
There are several sour beers that I would pick over this. However, it is good and worth a try.
My rating: Worth a try.
Website: Importer.
Price paid: 9.86 at Pj's wine and spirits.
