Chouffe Bok 6666

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

Serve in Dimpled mug, Snifter

Really nice deep amber coloured body with ruby highlights when held up to the light, and a thick dense three centimetre tall tan head with microbubbles - perfect! Aroma of oak, vanilla, nuts, pit fruit, caramel, malt and a old smoky character - neat. Medium-bodied; Sweet malty character at first with pit fruits, vanilla, cherries and toffee tucked in. Aftertaste fades to nuts, dirt, hay, mild oak and a touch of tannins. Overall, a good beer with nice complex characteristics, but the age of this one really shows through and makes it super mild. I sampled this 75 cL bottle, aged at least 5 years, purchased at a small beer shop in Rochester, New York in 2004 sampled at home in Washington on 31-January-2010.

Bottle. A malty smell, light alcoholic. The head is medium large, creamy and light brown with a short duration. The body is dark red. The taste is strong malty, light bitter finish. The body is creamy, medium string and with a soft carbonation.

(Warm) bottle at Shamrock, Antwerpen. Clear brrown, big and rocky, tan head. Fruity aroma. Balanced fruit and caramel flavours, bitter. Anonymous.

75cl, exclusive brew, from the brewery, not complex brew, yet easy to drink, balanced, clear, good head, nice brew

750 ml bottle a dark brown colored beer with a white head aroma of caramel hop and spices and a sweet hoppy taste

Pours amber with a small head that’s quickly gone. Aroma of hops and a hint of raspberry. Flavor is watery, hoppy, slightly sweet and a bit sour. Well carbonated, long bitter finish. Somehow I expected more of this.

Not too impressed with this one. Quite light and watery. Had better years of this one, the nice cherry flavor is still there, but there’s a sour, almost red ale hint to it.

bottle, 75 cl. Brown cloured, off-white head, reasonably dense and large. Aromas of candy, coffee, molasses, caramel. Tastes smooth, sweet, slightly bitter, average bok.
