bottle. Body is light yellow/orange. The aroma reminds me of a cheap Spanish pale lager...skunk. Maybe this is due to the green bottle as wcampbell pointed out. Taste is smooth and delightful. Absolutely no taste of 8% abv. I really enjoyed this Belgian Strong Ale.

La Chouffe is nice orange beer with big white head. Aroma is fruitful, whitebeer-likesh and little spicyness. In the flavour there are fruits, sourness, little sweetness and hops in the end. Lot of carbonation but it is stylish-like. Body is strong enought so the carbonation is not too much. Mixing different kind of styles and very referehning and interesting beer.

Decent beer. Doesn’t remind me of a belgian ale. The aroma was like a cheap mexican beer, maybe due to the green bottle. Lightly spicy and grassy flavor. Not too much flavor or finish to it though. Almost no alcohol presence.

Nice thick head. Aroma is dry and very lightly yeasty. Very spiced, not as fruity as i would have liked. Enjoyable beer. Light golden unfiltered color.

Draught at De Baiaard, Amsterdam, 12-2-07. Opaque gold with a big and firm white head. Aroma is pretty dry and yeasty. The flavor is also restrained in its sweetness, with lots of spice. Medium body, with medium and smooth carbonation. I found it to have good balance and drinkability, but it felt a little bland compared to the other Belgian strong ales I had in Amsterdam

This is a complex, balanced belgian stuff. Spicy and fruity, good aftertaste.Strong and drinkable, characteristic and fine.Drink it at a right temperature! It might be one of my favourite beers...

Golden colored with hazy appearance. Huge white head. Strong spices dominate the rich aroma, some duvelish notes with orange and milc alcohol. Yeast also obvious here, nice aroma. Flavor is also rich with same dominating spices and orange, surprisingly strong carbonation. Aftertaste dries strongly with yeast and spices, alcohol only slightly here. Quite Duvelish brew.
