Vintage 2011| Alive and kicking, my last Puffeney 🥲 to share with winefriends @Berry Marinussen @Liselotte Brouwers Maarten Drop, who do appreciate Trousseau but find it extremely difficult to recognize 🙂 extremely well balanced, still fruits — 13 days ago

Smells like a fresh sea breeze, cactus/ aloo vera, tastes of almost a ghostly pear schnapps, and highly refreshing — 4 years ago

I am not a serious beer drinker, usually at the ball park or a barbecue. Curiosity gets the best of me and like wine I enjoy seeing what’s out there. Holy s#%t! This was insane. A very murky reddish brown liquid and a cream colored foam filled my glass. Yes that is a wine glass. Intense Port like aromas of dry figs and chestnuts along with cherries(?). Powerful flavors of toffee, coffee , chocolate and balsamic vinegar. Spot on balance of sweet and sour. I always thought Duchesse de Bourgogne was the most vinous beer I have ever tasted until now. Perhaps most amazingly the 13% alcohol was no where to be found. I realize others on Delectable have had beer like this but for me it was an epiphany. A totally polarizing beverage . I will definitely try other vintages to see what age creates. — 4 years ago

Vintage 1989 | When and with who you taste can influence your appreciation tremendously. After a blind tasting with terrific wines I poured this wine (blind) in the glasses with sourdough bread and goose rillette. Combination made in heaven. The well known tension between sweet and acids completed it. A treat. With wine friends @Liselotte Brouwers @Berry Marinussen Maarten Drop. — 12 days ago

My nephew knowing I love this style of beer surprised me with this rarity. Very similar to the De Dolle I had about a year ago. The nose is pure funk.. The palate is about intensity. Would love to know what age would do.

We were inspired by @Ira Schwartz’s post to pull one of these out. Cap reads 2010. Immediate hiss and scent of burnt caramel. Carbonation is à point. Palate is fresh—figs, brown sugar, honey, dry finish. A great winter warmer. Fun to age these. — 4 years ago
