Chouffe Bok 6666

Brewed by Brasserie d’Achouffe (Moortgat)
Style: Dunkler Bock
Achouffe, Belgium

Serve in Dimpled mug, Snifter

Clear dark brown red beer without head. Smells malty and sweet, and taste is in align with that. What a disappointment usually la Chouffe does quite nice beers, but this exception. Perhaps I am just not Bock compliant?

I love that Chouffe beers can be found in grocery stores! Dark brown with off-white head. Sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, like lesser bocks in its style. Ends with a dab of caramel.

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2011 Pours dark brown with a low head. Aroma of malts and toffee, flavor of malts, honey and caramel. Nice.

Donker roodbruin met goede lichtcreme kraag. Zoet, caramel, niet al te sterk met een beetje overrijp fruit.

Also this Dunkel Bock has the taste of it´s brewer written all over it´s face. Roughly balanced but an enormous diversity of taste ending in a small hint of caramel. Brilliant Dunkel Bock, brilliant treat!

Very dark brown with tan head. Nutmeg, cereal, fermented fruit. Can’t find much caramel in this one. Bitterness dominates the taste, even with the solid wheaty malt back. Light sourness in the ending makes this somewhat interesting. Disappointing overall though. (On tap at Kafe België)

On tap at Cafe Thijssen, Amsterdam, Netherlands on Saturday 01.10.11 Dark, dark brown beer with a light beige head quite bubbly, foamy and sticky. Nice beer with warmth coming through, malty, soft in mouth with a nice carbonation. Good beer in a nice little cafe. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov14 3.6

Bottle at home, shared with DutchDrebus. Didn’t take many notes unfortunately. Only thing written down is: Pretty nice, but a little weak, not enough body. From the rating I can tell I liked the color and thought the smell was not really nice, but that’s about it.
