Duchesse de Bourgogne is an ale of mixed fermentation. It is a sweet-fruity ale with a pleasant fresh aftertaste. This ale is brewed with roasted malts and with hops with a low bitterness. After the main fermentation and the lagering, the Duchesse de Bourgogne matures further for many months in oak casks. The tannins in the oak give the Duchesse de Bourgogne its fruity character. Duchesse de Bourgogne has a full, sweet, and fresh taste: it is a ruby red jewel of 6.2 % alc. vol. that best is served in a chalice-shaped glass between 8 and 12°C. A perfect beer.
