Chouffe Bok 6666

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

Dense, darkish head (few cm), collapsing. Dark brown, opaque beer. Alcoholic nose, like a fine brandy-based liqueur. Something spicy, too: celery, coriander – bog myrtle? Also a vague nutty aroma, a bit of chocolate. Herbal bitter flavour, on top of a very malty beer, sweet and actually quite bland. Vague chocolate flavour warming up. Soupy mouthfeel; bit throat-prickling sensation, that isn’t alcoholburn. Roasted malt flavour keeps going on. It’s not very exciting. Well-crafted, OK, but there’s nothing to rave about.

got this at an oddbins in london for 3 pounds. not bad! very spicy tasting, and smooth. smells really nice, tastes nice, makes you sleep. always loved everything from this brewery. a keeper.

This ale pours a murky, cloudy brown color with a big, rocky, lasting off-white head. The aroma is strong with lots of dark fruits, yeasts, and spices. It has a medium body with full carboantion and a lively, smooth mouthfeel. The flavor is very complex with dark mafruits and malts, various spices, brown sugar, and molasses flavors all intermingling across your tongue and taste buds. The finish is long, sweet, malty, and spicy. A very wonderfull beer from a great brewery.

Cloudy darkish amber color,Tall,creamy tan head that lasted quite awhile,man i'm tired of these super head brew's i'm to impatient to wait for the head to die down for a drink of this nectar.Sweet malt aroma with some definate hints of fruit.The taste was mildly malty but mostly was spicey and fruity with a slight smoke to it,very slight nothing to harsh.There is also that spicey flavor,very nice.This definately doesn't give you the feel of a bock it seems more like something else what i'm unsure of but bock it's not IMO.The after taste was pretty decent mildly sweet,spicey and some hints of hops as well and finishes with a dry feel to it that leaves you with that what the hell was that feeling.

Aroma is rather skunky, pours a hazey brown color. Nice creamy looking, long lasting light brown head. Flavor is a spice mixed with dark wheat flavor. Very soft feeling, but heavily carbonated. Finishes dry, Austinpowers is right, it is more like a Belgian Dubbel than a Bok. It is like a good aged cheese, or a "you know what", once you taste it, the aroma goes away.

Cloudy red-brown bosy with quickly dissipating, medium beige head. Aroma is sweet, raisin/date, caramel, vanilla, light smoke and alcohol. Taste is fruity (orange, date), yeasty, musty, musky, smokey. Medium body, with a white-wine dryness to its finish. Unusual beer, and regrettably my description doesn't convey some of the tastes I note but cannot identify.

Another great beer from this brewer. Flavor is malty, fruity, and sweet. Finishes dry, crisp and clean.

This has a large foamy head along with a foam in the mouth palate. This is smooth and not too sweet. The finish is vapour dry. Easy to drink for its strength. Yet another good Chouffe!
