A look at the iconic Duvel
If you have ever wondered what makes a beer truly special, let Duvel tell you its story. This Belgian Strong Ale, born in the heart of Belgium at the facilities of Duvel Moortgat, not only has a name that sounds to poetry, but also brings with it a beer tradition that goes back to generations. With a %ABV of 8.5 and 32 ib, it’s like that crazy aunt that we all want in our lives: intriguing and memorable.
The science behind magic
Its elaboration is a meticulous process that can resemble the choreography of a ballet, with a fermentation that lasts approximately 90 days. This long process is key to developing its diverse aromatic profile, an explosion of notes that will take you to a sensory feast.
First impression: a visual feast
By serving it, you will notice a pale golden color that evokes sunlight, embellished with a white foam that unfolds like a mantle on the surface. His bubbles, thin and playful, seem to have their own conversation while floating up.
Aromas that tell stories
Inhaling a Duvel glass is like opening a book that tells stories of flower fields and citrus fruits. The combination of grapefruit, orange peel, and a touch of spices invites us to continue exploring. And if you are a rosemary lover and pepper, get ready to be dragged on a completely new trip trip.
The flavor trip
Take a sip and let yourself wrap by a soft malted base that quickly transforms into a dance of spices and white fruits. The experience intensifies with an unforeseen sweetness that is then balancing with a sophisticated bitterness, leaving a bittersweet retroar that invites a second drink. In the end, all you want is to share this experience with friends.
Adventure on the palate
Duvel’s body is like a soft caress with his silky effervescence, offering a creamy texture that does not fade into drinking. The warmth of alcohol is subtle, a discreet company that enhances the experience rather than eclipse.
Ideal to pair with a little love
It doesn’t matter if you are a gourmet or a home kitchen lover, Duvel is versatile when pairing. Here we offer you some sensational ideas to experience.
Comforting dishes

Vegetarian flavors
Flavors of the Earth as the Ratatouille become perfect allies, highlighting the freshness and spices present in each sip.
Culminating sweetly
