Supporter Press Release:
(Tourpes, BELGIUM) – Brasserie Dupont fans have reason to rejoice. For the first time ever, what is called the “perfect Christmas beer from Belgium” is available in magnums in the USA. Legendary Belgian beer importer, Don Feinberg, reports they are landing in stores and bars starting next week.
“With best wishes…of the Brewery Dupont” is how the name of Dupont’s wonderful Avec les Bons Voeux translates into English. And wonderful it is. Rich gold color, fragrant (lemony with hints of pepper, banana and clove), as all the beers of Dupont are, with a full, deep malt richness that lingers on your tongue for what seems the whole holiday season. Considered by some the finest offering from this unparalleled brewery, and the perfect Christmas beer.
Bons Voeux rates a 99 from RateBeer and a “superlative” 99/ Platinum medal from the World Beer Championships as well. They write:
“Avec les Bons Voeux has …A golden amber color with a high white foamy head. Rich salty baguette, marmalade, and spicy apple-pear tart aromas with a vibrant, fruity-yet-dry full body and an everlasting, pepper bread, date, sour cherry, earth, and elegant spice driven finish. An incredibly complex and flavorful Belgian ale. Amazing!”
