Jun 3, 2008 Bottle @ Mondial 2008.
Aroma is malt, yeast, wheat? and a hint of citrus, light amber, a much smaller white head than it’s big brother. Flavour is malt, with strong alcohol. Full bodied, has a harshness not found in the big bro. This has been on my wish list for a long time, it was great to finally try it.

May 28, 2008 Bottle at Cambrinus in Brugge. Light "poperinge" hop aroma. Dark golden color with a coarse, large white head. Medium body with fine carbonation. Flavor is light alcohol, pale malt and floral hop. Actually refreshing. Finishes dry with bitter around the edges of the tongue.

May 16, 2008 Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, jerc & tupalev - courtesy of jerc. Pale gold with a medium white head. Aroma is quite herbal and spicy with some mellow grain notes. Flavour is pleasant and well balanced, moderately sweet to start with herbal hops in the lingering finish. Not nearly as good as the main Duvel, but still pretty nice.
