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.

Their drummer told me he had a fridge full of Duvel in San Francisco, so I guess you´ll be able to hunt it down somewhere.. ;D
As the members of that band all seemed to be utterly nice chaps he may help you finding it?
;D

HMMMM. Ah, but are they young (or at least, young-looking) and cute? :lol: :twisted: :P :roll:
Dear Sinnie. What I was suggesting was:
You might have them helping you to find some Duvel.
Not just "You might have them"! :wink:

Well, the Kriek Boon I recommended earlier is from the same brewery...

Now that the dust has settled, I shall tell my tale...

I was indoctrinated almost from the minute I stepped off the plane at that Charly Oi! airport place, about the healing and regenerative power of this beverage. I eventually got to experience its effect some hours (too many actually) later, after a glass of some generic lager bier. My initial reaction (upon sip#1) was that it had a strong flavour and one I had never encountered before. Being an olde pharte and set it my ways, it came as something of a shock. I wasn't sure. I gave my jaded taste buds about 15 seconds to acclimatise (I was out on the lash after all and time was a'wastin') then took a decent mouthful:
• the clouds parted
• a warm light engulfed the company
• a sense of well being and safety permeated
• no thing but clear trails

I was convinced

The aftershock, in morning, really was minimal.
This is a well brewed and purified elixir but, it should be served extremely cold, preferably in a chilled glass with a side chaser of guid company.

Well described mr. Blast. :notworthy:

Maybe I really should try to enjoy a good beer like that instead of drinking it like a glass of water. :D

Oooooh, I've just been on the Duvel website and they say that it's carried in the UK by "Tesco, Sainsbury, Safeway, Asda, Majestic, Oddbins and Waitrose."

I guess I might have to grab some tomorrow and see what all the fuss is about !

The virus is spreading. Eeeexcellent... :twisted:
Yes, they have Duvel in the UK. I almost forgot that. When we played the Purple Turtle in Camden last year, the nympho I called my girlfriend back then and I went out after the gig and found this bar opposite Camden Lock, where they had Palm, various fruit flavoured beers and The Guid Stuff itself. No two guesses as to what I drank... ;D

Almost sounds llike me first Guinness in Eire! ;D

Rather nice description, Uncle J, and also noteworthy for one of the ways to drink a Duvel. Most people I know drink it either:

A) poured in a well-cleaned and dried-off glass,

B) poured in a fridge-chilled glass and ice-cold,

C) dried glass again and the Duvel at room temperature (iene vant schap;D),

D) right out of the bottle with a straw (mostly stupeed students on bachelor nights),

E) not at all, they prefer Hoegaarden Grand Cru instead :twisted:

I still remember shepherding you round Leeds city centre (with the help of a lace and fishnet-clad Debs, what a trio we must have looked! :lol: ) last summer. And your reaction when the ladies we asked directions from didn't have a clue where The Angel was... a loud bellowing of "Well, THAT'S not going to be very much good to us, is it?" :lol:
