Duchesse de Bourgogne is a classic Flemish red ale with a distinctly complex and layered character. The taste is characterized by a pleasant, wine-like acidity that blends with notes of dark fruits such as cherries and raisins. Added to this are subtle hints of wood and a delicate sweetness reminiscent of caramel, providing balance. Through aging in oak barrels, the beer develops its typical depth and a slightly dry, elegant finish. It is made using water, barley malt, hops, and yeast, creating a harmonious interplay of fruitiness, acidity, and a malty base. This beer particularly appeals to lovers of characterful, slightly sour specialty beers with a traditional profile.
