Duvel 6,66% (USA)

Guess you need a buzz first...America found out about the prohibition limit. But would I have 0.0666? That's the question

 

For some reason I'd rather have a Duvel NA than the other ones you mentioned...psychology is interesting...

 

And also after the success of Duvel there have been many brands labeling their beers with devil-themes too. Nothing new, this is a very old concept

 

Duvel is kind of cozy, Satan not.

 

Duvel 6,66%
Pairs well with: Drake's Devil Dogs, Underwood Deviled Ham, homemade deviled eggs and HelluvaGood Cheese.

 

It made my old Baptist bones rigid like Cotton Mather on a tirade.

 

Wonder what the author of "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" would have to say about these Devil themed brews.

 

He'd probably view the names as redundant.

 

He may not cotton to it so to speak....

 

Crimea has always been choice real estate and I'm hear to say FUCK PUTIN! I have Ukrainian neighbors that teach at local colleges and they have lots to say. The west of Ukraine is old Europe and the east just different, especially now.

 

The Crimean War had been mentioned upstream and I found it just too ironic. The Battle of Balaclava; the Attack of The Light Brigade. Sorry.

 

This Duvel 6.66 is finally listed at my local TW, so I'll be headed that way soon enough.
It's the same price as the original Duvel.
Just wondering, the Triple Hoped, which is higher in abv sells for less than the regular or this new 6.66. Why would this be? I would think the same or even more.

 

Or perhaps it doesn't Mather.

 

Mind over Mather.

 

Ok, so I made the trip and re stocked some beers besides the 6.66.
After giving it a quick chill in the freezer and pouring it in to it's proper drinking vessel, my first impression was maltier than the other variations.
Of course it's a Duvel, so they don't mess around. It is good.
