La Chouffe

Brewed by Brasserie d’Achouffe (Moortgat)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Achouffe, Belgium

Bottle. Golden colour with awhite head. Fruity, spicy, belgian yeast, licorice, light hoppiness.

From the 75 cl bottle, orange hazy with giant flufy head, aroma of peach vanilla corriander and pleasant sweetness, pineapple flavor with some sweet to lemony flavor, some yeast and some caramel flavors in the second round, finish of clove alcohole warmth and some hop. Nice beer.

Pours hazy golden brown with a finger of off white head. Aroma is fruity, spicy and a little yeasty. Taste is a little spicy and full of light fruit flavor along with a slight bitterness on the finish. Pretty good stuff.

I got this on tap at a Belgian beer bar in Barcelona. Pours a yellow color with a nice sized and long lasting head. Aroma is loaded with spices and a bunch of fruits and it is pretty inviting. Nicely hopped with those Belgian style hops. Slightly sweet, but mostly rather spicy. Somewhat bitter, but never too intense. Very good overall.

(From tap) Pretty blond beer with a lasting head. Spicy taste, but surprisingly pure and refreshing.

0.75l bottle from the Croatian Beershop shared with heavy. Poured a murky golden, honeyish, lively carbonation. Mediumto small thick white head. The nose is so lovely, sweet fruity, oranges and apricots, some dusty hopiness. That was nice but the taste never lived up to it. Light sweet maltiness on top of which lied some hopiness, polleny and flowery, that gives a persistant bitterness. That’s more or less it. Not impressive but tasty.

750 ml ’champagne’ bottle. Pours dark amber in colour, a little hazy, big white head.Floral aroma, lots of spicy, sweet flavour. Quite carbonated.

Apperance; nice light unclear with a yelloish head. There is a small aroma of fruits but it gets better and more clear when it get in your mouth. Good!
