The gimmick actually shows up: several tasters catch the Duvel beer in a bitter, malty finish. The nose is the good part — orange peel, banana and classic Jamaican ester. Trouble is the palate arrives thin and watered-down, with soft tropical fruit and cherry that fade fast. A Clarendon pot-still Jamaican that never lets its funk loose.
The community says- Orange-banana ester nose

How does Clarendon Plantation Duvel #5 Beer Finish 2013 taste?
Summarized by AI from 25 community reviews.
Nice nose, thin and bitter beer-finish Jamaican Interesting nose, disappointing follow-through. Most find it too diluted and bitter for a Jamaican, though beer fans do enjoy the malty, Duvel-tinged finish.

Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Nose: orange zest – banana – typical Jamaican ester; it's quite interesting The attack on the palate is too soft, even diluted on tropical fruits – cherry and malt The finish is short on the palate with woody notes but especially bitter beer A rum with a quite interesting nose but unfortunately it's way too diluted for tasting. We're very far from Jamaica and its gustatory craziness. On the other hand, for beer fans, you can clearly perceive the Duvel in the finish. Glad to have tasted it as a sample because I wouldn't buy it...
Review by Kevin Sorensen 🇩🇰
26.02.2022 Enjoying some samples at home. Notes Medium dark in colour. Nose Faint wood, dried fruit, malty, fruits, vanilla, light floral. Palate Light wood, malty, fruits, light floral, faint chocolate, raisin. Finish Short to medium, light wood, malty, dried fruit, light chocolate.
Review by Jarek
Better than Trinidad bottling with Duvel finish. Here, too, I perceive the beer in the taste and finish, but perhaps only because I know Duvel.sugar 0 g/l
Review by Johannes
Relatively meaningless. Due to the dilution, you can barely make out the base product. If you know it, you smell and taste something the beer barrel finish
Review by Christian Rudt
A notch better than the Trinidad. Seems a bit rounder. But also no big hit. Shame.
Review by RumTaTa
For me, it's too weak for a Jamaican! The nose is promising but the mouth and finish lack action and I clearly notice the dilution.

Expert review by Zucker und Zeste
I actually find the nose quite interesting. Unfortunately, the taste can not keep up at all. Much too diluted and then also much too bitter. Has not pleased me particularly well
