Duchesse de Bourgogne is more adequately classified as an Oud Bruin.  A
good bottle would be a wonderful accompaniment to the main course of a
traditional turkey dinner.  Beware, though -- I've been having an affair
with the Duchesse for quite a while and she's a bit unpredictable.  There
is always a good deal of sourness but this beer seems to go vinegary as
well.  It's inconsistent, even when opening two bottles at the same time
from the same 4-pack.  If Forest Gump's mother had been a beer geek she'd
have told him "Life is like a case of Duchesse."  Of course, I'm getting
Duchesse after a long trip to California -- YMMV, esp those of you lucky
enough to live in Belgium!
