They just don't like it, and whether that's an honest opinion or because Moortgat is very large, I can't say. But I still enjoy the hell out of this beer in a pinch. "A pinch" here is defined as any one of thousands of Belgian cafés and restaurants that serve a few crap beers plus Duvel. Plenty of Belgian aficionados turn their noses up at this beer.

And I'll just echo the comments on Duvel's deliciousness/universality with a personal touch... it's a great beer to share with a special someone over a home-cooked meal during a romantic "night in." You look like a hero, even if you just happened to pick it up at the shop around the corner on your way over! Absolutely diabolical!

It's always interesting to line up a few comparable beers and drink them together; it's one of the best ways to really notice the differences, plus it's good fun! Agreed! Duvel is a great beer.

"Just because it’s ubiquitous doesn’t mean Duvel isn’t brilliant" - very true. Too often the beer world seems to trash the popular or readily available just on those criterion.
