Review by Vincent D
Plutôt engageant au nez mais il ne se passe pas grand chose en bouche. Un peu de piment, un peu de bois, un peu d'amertume. Un caramel très discret en fin de bouche. Bof bof.
Review by Jarek
Das Bier glaube ich im Geruch und Abgang wahrzunehmen, aber nur weil ich Duvel kenne, mag und regelmäßig genießen kann. Ansonsten etwas dünn.
Review by Rhum Mirror 🇧🇪
Nose: fresh citrus, vanilla and pastry notes The attack on the palate is again very (too) gentle on fruit and young wood. The finish is short, with notes of almond and, above all, bitter beer. As with Jamaica 2013, the Finish Duvel is clearly perceptible on the finish, but this rum is far too flat! Big disappointment with these 2 Finish Duvels. If anything, the Jamaica 2013 is even better than this Trinidad. But we've saved the best for last to raise the bar (and not by a little!) ...

Little body, very thin.

War echt gespannt auf dieses Experiment. Für mich aber leider nur Durchschnitt. Langweilig irgendwie. Geschmacklich auch nicht ausgewogen🤷🏻♂️

pretty thin, not much comes across from the Duvel beer barrel
Review by RumTaTa
I find it difficult to judge this rum. He is very light in all aspects and little ... well ... intrusive 😉Am prominent is still the finish with bitter hop notes.I prefer strong rums - this is not one of them.
