Duchesse de Bourgogne Cherry 4-Pack (pack of 4) (33cl, 6.8%)

Duchesse de Bourgogne Cherry is a fruited Flemish red ale at 6.8% ABV, sold as a four-pack of 330ml bottles. It is brewed by Brouwerij Verhaeghe in Vichte, West Flanders, since 1885. The expression begins as a blend of young and old sour ales matured in large oak foeders, with 20 kilograms of whole Belgian cherries from Limburg per 100 litres of beer and chocolate essence added during oak maturation. The nose has tart sour cherries, cocoa powder, freshly baked bread, subtle vanilla sweetness from oak and faint toffee. The palate is bright and cherry-forward with pronounced tartness, then chocolate sweetness closer to cocoa powder, with oak tannins. The finish is medium in length, with dark chocolate, cherry skin and clean acidity.
