The Duvel And The Damage Done...

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

This Belgian Beauty of a beer has won over the hearts, minds and livers of many a HL'er. So it's about high time it got its own thread, since it pops up in just about every other thread in one way or other.
Your Duvel stories, put 'em in here. And Brer James, we absotively posilutely must have your first Duvel experience in here, as retold by you in The Other Place That's Covered In Flour And Ghost Musicians. That is, if you can get away from playing 'Zoon' over and over long enough to post it here... ;)

I remember vaguely drinking two bottles of this stuff on the bus on the way to a Curve gig in Glasgow back in 95... I think there was a third bottle, but I somehow had a fantastic gig and got a setlist too..



This stuff is a proper catalyst.. Another time I went to a bar with a friend to have a couple of beers.. two bottles of that stuff and it turned into a two-day rampage of which I have little if any recollection..
:eek:

As I said elsewhere, it really is a "didn't-see-it-coming" kind of beer. It's surprisingly strong (8.5°) for its taste.
It goes down nice and easy and then bang ! :twisted: :lol:
You're stoned. ;D

So not dissimilar to the ,some would say, superior , (when properly chilled to just above freezing) Kestrel Super.

In fact Kestrel S easily nudges Carlsberg Special Brew out of the running, although opinion is divided on the smoother and cheekier Tennants Extra.

I have to say that T. E edges it when properly prepared.

My scientifically conducted experiments with other 'super' cheap lagers , revealed only horror , blindness and visions of the future (plus once, a 15 foot fall).

My philanthropic research suggests you stick with one of the 'big three', if you want to survive and progress to a mastery and appreciation of the superior (but more expensive) Belgian brews.

I think we should have a poll : best beer country in the world.
Entries :
- USA (you must be kidding)
- Australia (no way)
- France (yeah yeah yeah...)
- Netherlands (pfff...)
- Germany (no way Jose)
- Ireland (Guinness and then what ?)
- England (close but no cigar)
- freakin' Belgium !!! Image

Belgian beer + Belgian fries = :notworthy:

It could very possibly be, Raf just gave me it and said "Here, you'll like this..." :lol:

Between that, waffles courtesy of Christophe's mum, and chips (sorry, fries :roll: :P ) with pepper sauce, no gastronomic stone was left unturned during that trip, let me tell you! :lol:

And it's all to be repeated in just over two weeks - how will I cope :eek:

:lol: :lol: Hence my crossover to The Macallan 12 yrs Old Fine Oak recently when hitting the Old Market bar circuit, or possibly a Glenlivet or Glenmorangie if ti guid stuff's all been drunk. I realized I cannae live up tae Brer Blast's intake of the guid Belgian stuff, so I have tae beat him on his own turf (even though Macallan's nae peated :P)... ;D

There is a Belgian Beer Cafe here in Zalaegerszeg & I am going to see what this Duvel is all about tonight.

Oh, & if anyone can tell me why all the clocks are stuck at 5 mins to midnight, I would be grateful (in Belgian joke??)

Cheers.

C'mon Raf, what kind of person do you think Claire is ?! :P

Kriek is for those who don't like beer, but still want to look so cool drinking fancy beer. :roll: :lol:

Then what Claire drank - Lindemans Kriek (Cherry beer, not flavoured, but made with real cherries) might be something for you, Sinnie. By the way, even the guys in Tool know what Duvel is these days. They make sure to have some bottles of it when playing this country. And sorry, Claire, for being mistaken about you liking fruit beers or the funny smelling Duvel. Perhaps another self made Bluidy Clairy - sorry, Mary - on Friday the Thirteenth might help you forget the foul taste?... :twisted: ;D
