I am Chocolate Duchesse Cherry — a sinfully indulgent twist on the iconic Flanders Red.
Born of noble lineage at Brouwerij Verhaeghe, I follow in the footsteps of the celebrated Duchesse de Bourgogne, yet dare to tread where few ales do. Aged in oak casks for over a year, I inherit the sweet-sour complexity of the classic Flanders red ale — but with a luxurious difference.
Into my ruby depths, 200 grams of whole Belgian cherries per litre are folded, sourced from the orchards of Sint-Truiden. Then comes the pièce de résistance: a delicate infusion of natural chocolate aroma, turning me into a glass of pure pleasure — like biting into a dark chocolate-covered cherry.
Velvety, tart, and just sweet enough, I am a beer for dessert lovers and dreamers alike — rich, refreshing, and unmistakably Belgian.
Verhaeghe Brewery is a family-owned Belgian brewery located in Vichte, West Flanders. The brewery was founded in 1885 by Paul Verhaeghe and continues to be run by the 4th generation of Verhaeghes today. Despite multiple setbacks wrought by the world wars, Verhaeghe managed to pick up the pieces and re-establish itself on the market. Verhaeghe Brewery’s greatest success is the Duchesse de Bourgogne - a Flemish Red Ale that was named in honour of Duchess Mary of Burgundy, the only daughter of Charles the Bold. Today, the brewery continues to thrive in spite of Karl’s horrific traffic accident as well as the declining demand for Flemish Red-Brown ales.
