Clarendon Plantation Duvel #5 Beer Finish 2013
A niche option for curious explorers who like beer finishes more than Jamaican funk. Light, malty and slightly bitter, this unsweetened Clarendon feels quite diluted, with the Duvel cask most evident in the short finish.

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 Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Nez : zeste d’orange – banane – ester typique de la Jamaïque ; c’est plutôt intéressant L’attaque en bouche trop douce voir diluée sur les fruits tropicaux – cerise et malt La finale est courte en bouche avec des notes boisées mais surtout de bière amère Un rhum avec un nez assez intéressant mais malheureusement il est beaucoup trop dilué pour la dégustation. On est très loin de la Jamaïque et de ses folies gustatives. Par contre, pour les fans de bière, on perçois bien la Duvel dans la finale. Bien content de l’avoir gouté en sample car je ne l’achèterai pas …
Review by Christian Rudt
Ne Ecke besser als der Trinidad. Wirkt etwas runder. Aber auch kein großer Wurf. Schade.
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

Der ist mir für einen Jamaikaner zu lasch! Die Nase ist vielversprechend aber im Mund und Abgang ist zu wenig los und ich merke die Verdünnung deutlich.

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"
