A Very Tiny Rant
I know some beers are hard to pronounce and I do realise that people will often get the names of foreign beer wrong. But...... IT'S NOT "DUVELLE" it's simply Duvel. "Doo vil" would be something like it - it's Dutch (Flemish) not French and even if it was French, Duvel would not be pronounced "Duvelle".
It's particularly annoying when bar staff correct my reasonably correct pronunciation!
Now you know.

Hehe... one would think. But I lived in Antwerp for five years and it's definitely pronounced doo-vell. Was just there in April... ahh Belgium. Best beer in the world! :)
