DUVEL

Duvel (Devil to me)*

Country of origin: Belgium
Brewed by: Duvel Moortgat Brewery
Brewed in: Breendonk, Belgium

Very strong lager, 8.5% ABV, so has a very strong aftertaste which is not to everyone's liking, this is down to the brewing process which is still occurring after the beer is bottled. Also has a 7 step recommended pouring technique, that shiz floats my boat!



Scores a hefty 8.5 MWB purely based on strength, aftertaste is like a slap in the face with a ruler that you strangely want to try again.


Producers info

"Duvel is a natural beer with a subtle bitterness, a refined flavour and a distinctive hop character. The unique brewing process, which takes about 90 days, guarantees a pure character, delicate effervescence and a pleasant sweet taste of alcohol.
A team of beer specialists checks the process daily by means of taste analyses. It is only after 90 days, when it has achieved its rich range of flavours, that Duvel may leave the brewery.
Thanks to its surprisingly high alcohol content (8.5 %), enormous head, fine effervescence and silky smooth feel in the mouth, Duvel stands out clearly from other Belgian beers."

*just found out its Brabantian, Ghent and Antwerp dialect for devil, so there!
