In my honest opinion, it's the best beer in the world. Although, I've not yet tried all of them

Wait, your comparing Duval to Tremens Delrium?

Ain't it a bitch trying to find the best?

Actually we're all guilty of saying things are the "best". Kinda like "best" band, best song etc.
Perceptions and opinions change over time.

Suffice it to say , yes Duval is an awesome liquid...on the same level as Tremens? I'll default to my previous post.

Tremens is amazing, for sure, however I like Duvel just a little more.

Good reviews from beer sites. I wonder how it tastes like! I've heard they have this annual limited edition product/s.

Oh my. Duvel is amazing. I like the Delerium ales too (nocturnum, tremens, and the noel I've tried) but, for me, there's no comparison. The original Duvel is just so balanced. Tremens usually has an alcohol bite to it that you don't find in Duvel regardless of aging.

One thing to watch out for is lightstruck Duvel. It used to come in clear bottles (750ml) and even the brown 750's and 12oz's have been travelling for a while, so a good retailer is key. Delerium is almost always in good shape thanks to the clay bottle.

Oh, man it's 9:30 in the morning and I'm thirsty already.... Have a good one all!
