Trying one of these now and I feel slightly dizzy after 3 decent sips. Nothing but respect for this beer! 😂 It's delicious though. I could see myself coming back to this a lot. Feels very luxurious and silky on the palate, and I just think there's a beautiful balance of sweetness, bitterness and warmth. Nothing is overpowering, and there's a lot of subtle layers to the flavour. Herbs, cloves, army navy sweets, boiled green vegetables, citrus...it goes on and on. After you mentioned banana I did get a hint of that on the nose, which I normally don't like, but I like it here. I have a feeling my banana notes are your bubblegum notes.
Cheers Ben! The banana in most Belgian beer comes from the yeast and it's a bit of a to-and-fro between kind of sweet-shop banana and just sure candy bubblegum. I'm likewise not a big banana fan which is probably why I look for the other interpretations, but so far banana hints in most beers I've not had an issue with! If you enjoyed the robustness of this then I think some other Belgian numbers such as Delirium would be right up your street - assuming you aren't already familiar of course! Cheers!
Nice review! I got a bit of vanilla on the nose. The mouthfeel is so creamy. Definitely a dangerous beer - boozy. But still refreshing when cold. Really a Fall/Winter beer. Lovely!
Thank you! Ah interesting! I do find this a bit changeable, wether that's between batches or just wether it expresses very differently in different environments I'm not sure. Cheers!
Wanna know why some people do such a big fuss about alcohol? They have very stresful jobs. Like stealing. An ilegal job, let's call it that. And they are tense and need to drink something before doing it. But they can't be really drunk. They need to take the edge off. So they drink just a little. But if someone really drinks near them, they get the urge and drink more. Which makes them miss their target. Which gets them in trouble. So they always pick on those that drink like a normal human being, because they can't do their illegal jobs efficiently.
We call that pour 'the European way', because on the continent they always seem to go for deliberately loads of head and then use one of those plastic butter knives to whap off the excess. Bit jealous of this one tbh, Tommy, can almost smell it from here!

Haha awesome! Cheers!

Love a cheeky Duval. That strength catches up with you.
Discovered it the other day.👍
Nice.

The great Duvel! I've never had the draft version.
Excellent on draft, but it is a rare find.
A standard 9 finger head. A legendary beer great to see it on the channel
A double-fist Duvel. (Don’t Google that)
@@TheCrumbyBeard sounds like something you'd find on porn pub
I work for the company :D its duvel (duvèl) like the second way tou said it. Not duval/duvél
Thank you! I finally have an answer!

Good job I saved ye another then ey.
The head is made of beer. Such a waste!
Jesus that was a massacre!
It’s good not the bitter after taste 8/10
Duvel don’t put emphasis on the ‘vel’ put it on the Du. It means Devil BTW.
Thank you! I have always wondered, and a great insight! Much appreciated.
There’s no man alive can pour that beer. Don’t worry haha.
It is a menace!
Nope
Not even one? 😅
