I remember my first time having a Duvel was in a hotel using a paper cup. I called it headache in a glass because after I drank them I woke the next day a bit dehydrated, the alcohol is a bit deceptive.

It definitely hides the alcohol well. I had one last night along with a Harpoon Winter Warmer and had a buzz when I was done. I definitely can't drink like I used to when I was a younger lad!

I hear you !  That's the reason for the name - goes down easy, really well hidden alcohol. The foam is incredible.

Big foam is a hallmark of the Belgians.

For sure, but even among others theirs is pretty spectacular IMO.

I typically go for the Trappists but am also very fond of the various Abbey beers as well. Westmalle is a particular favorite of mine.

I haven't brewed something Belgiany in a while. I may have to make a go at a Duvel clone fairly soon.
