Pushing Boundaries

Duvel Moortgat presents Duvel On Fire, an ambitious limited edition that reinvents the barrel-aged concept. This 750ml bottle, hand-filled and wax-sealed, combines tequila casks with yellow habanero peppers for a completely new tasting experience. At 12% ABV, this is no ordinary beer but a tasting beer for adventurous enthusiasts.

Mexican Inspiration

The foundation is a well-aged Duvel Barrel Aged, upon which the brewers have created subtle tequila notes. The beer was then blended with a selection of fiery habanero peppers and aged two additional months in barrel. Carbonation is deliberately kept low, allowing the complex aromas of wood, tequila, and barrel aging to shine through. The pepper's spiciness adds tension and intensity without overshadowing the refined flavors.

Flavor Profile

The nose offers wood, subtle tequila hints, and tropical fruit notes. On the palate, vanilla, roasted barley, and tropical fruit emerge, while the finish reveals roasted barley and white pepper with a lingering aftertaste.

For Whom?

This is a beer meant to be shared and savored in a Duvel Barrel Aged or Apéro glass. Available from June 25, 2026 for €35.95 on Duvel's webshop. Fair warning: the release is strictly limited.
