La Chouffe

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

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

Serving: 750 ml. bottle from Fireworks. It pours a hazy gold color with a slight, white head. The nose has notes of corn, licorice, lily of the valley, grain, and a slight floral note. The taste is slightly sweet with dark honey, florals, and a bit of licorice. It has a light body leading to an abrupt, clean finish. Overall a solid brew who’s alcohol remains very well hidden. The prickly carbonation lends a touch of acidity on the tongue. A very solid brew from a very solid brewery. Definitely worth a try.

Hazy golden pour white head ... honey, fruits and yeasty aroma .... taste of citrus and honey ... floral and spicy .... a light belgian but very smooth and enjoyable with a bittersweet finish light and fruity .... not a trace of the abv sediment as you poured the last few glasses ..... very clean and sessionable belgian

Initial aroma is yeasty with an almost Brett-like component, followed by fruity esters, spice (maybe some clove) and a hints of hops in the end. Flavor is sweet and fruity with a spicy, dry finish.

Ooh... an unfiltered one. I haven’t noticed before i tasted it. Nice spicy aroma with herbs and some corn-like fragrance. Enermous frothy head (not so long), solid lacing, beautiful hazy mellow body with pale orange colour. The taste is firstly herby also then it turns to a sourish one on tongue. (in flavour it ressemble a bit to cristoffel blondbier, but much more executed) Beautiful hoppiness. Very drinkable, and the alcohol is perfectly hidden. The Magic Chouffe.

Pours a hazy yellow-orange with a small white head and chunks of yeast. Nice fruity aroma with some bread, citrus hops, and Belgian yeast. The flavor is similar, with some earthy breadiness. Quite delicious. The alcohol is undetectable. Medium bodied with soft, floating carbonation and a mostly dry finish.

750 ml bottle. Hazy golden body, thick white head. Aroma has sweet malts, spices and citrus notes. Flavour has sweetness, citrus and spice, but some bread and banana too. Alcohol is slightly present, but not in a bad way.

A strong complex Blonde from the Ardens forest in Belgium. Cloudy and presented in a 750ml bottle with a gnome on the label, this is a *very* nice drop indeed. Natural, unfiltered with evouliting taste. Just the fact it has a gnome on it brings its presentation score up! All kinds of wonderful flavours, citrus, honey a frothy palatable head than never clears, wonderfully crafted.

La Chouffe is a rather strong beer, but because of the sweet aromas it’s easy to drink. One of my favorites
