Had a bottle of this last night with my curry and it went down really well; bottle conditioned which makes it extremely lively when being poured and results in a thick creamy head. Fine red colour and a strong malt taste but pleasantly lacking in sweetness for a brew of it’s strength (6.5% abv) and with some complex fruit flavours going around in the mix. Well worth a try but be careful when pouring due to the liveliness and the need to keep the yeasty bottom in the bottle.
Thanks to Eldest Niece for supplying a box of bottles of this on Boxing Day and to Eldest Nephew for putting 3 into my “goodie box” (which also included some square slice and homemade pepper pate) when I left the West Country

Yum!
I drank a glass of Duvel Dubbel ale last night and it made me think of you. Glad to see you're enjoying some lovely beverages!
Phlegmy, There was not much else to enjoy in our "Arctic" conditions at the time - good to hear that you can still find great imported beers out in the sticks!
