Verhaeghe Duchesse De Bourgogne

Throughly enjoyed from an 11.2oz bottle in a tulip glass. The beer pours a deep red to medium brown, with a very very small white head. The nose gives hints of malt at first, before giving way to a mountain of lucious acidity and funky notes. The palate gives more of the same, beginning almost too sweet, and then transforming into bracing tartness in the middle to back end of the palate. A wonderful example of an elusive and difficult to craft style.

tap, tulip. Dark color, creamy head. Crisp and sweet aroma, something was there but I could not identify. Sweeter than sour, apricot flavors, not much though. Medium bodied, crisp. Nicely done!

On tap at Palm Tavern. Pours dark red without much head. Aroma has funk, fresh fruit, and woody/oak notes. Flavor is similar but sweeter than the aroma led me to believe and also has some earthy quality. Much less sour and acidic than expected. Finishes with a tiny bit of alcohol warmth. Pretty nice beer.

Great beer. Wonderfully enjoyable beer. Very fruity, refreshing. Light sourness. Nice balanced amount of sweetness. Unobtrusive alcohol. Brown-red color, medium brownish head. High in carbonation.

Draught at Gingerman in Houston. Served in a goblet. Deep burgundy/black with a nice white head. Aroma of grapes, apples, wine. Flavor was phenomenal and unique, sweet and winey with grape and apple and very little hops. Sweetness was smooth and refreshing and not overpowering. Silky sweet finish with little noticeable hops. I would love another right now. Amazing beer.

What a unique beer. Poured with a dark reddish colour and a smallish head. Aroma most complex ad was the taste, with a hint of cherry and a sharp sour as well. Would like more, please.

bottle: Pours a dark reddish brown, with a foamy off-white head. Aroma is of vinegar and is quite tart. Flavor is of dark fruit and is medium sweet with a nice lasting apple tartness. Nice and smooth on the palate but lacking in carbonation. A head is easily formed with a swirl of the glass. Not nearly as good as I remember when it was on tap. I might buy it again, but not anytime soon.

Deep clear reddy brown with a large tan head that fades to leave a thin constant covering. Aroma is at first vinegar but then there is deffinate cherries and an oaky finish, flavour follows suit with a sweet edge to it but the lovely sour taste dominates - a cracker.
