Duchesse de Bourgogne is a Flemish red ale from Brouwerij Verhaeghe in Vichte, Belgium. It is oak-aged for 18 months and then blended with 8-month old brew. Silvie bought me this beer for my birthday because she liked the picture on the label. The bottle looks like a wine bottle, and has a cork and wire hood. I popped the cork and poured out a tall glass. It had a nice, clean fruity smell and a tiny stubborn head. Great ruby red color. And, damn, what a taste! Fruity, nice body, sour finish. Almost more like wine than beer. Just incredible. I absolutely loved this beer and can’t wait to try more Belgian brews. Bring ‘em on!
