SCHIUMA:
color panna, buona presenza, media finezza e persistenza
COLORE:
marrone scuro con riflessi rossastri, velata
INTENSITA’ / FINEZZA / AROMA
abbastanza profumata, dominata da frutta matura, caramello e zucchero con un fondo floreale di lieviti.GUSTO / RETROGUSTO / PERSISTENZA
tendenzialmente dolce, si ripropongono sapori fruttati e zuccherati, ben sostenuti dai malti e scossi dai lieviti tipici belga. Qualche luppolo compare come bilanciamento.
CORPO / CARBONATAZIONE / CONSISTENZA
morbida in bocca, ben carbonata e sorprendentemente leggera nonostante gli 8 % che passano quasi inavvertiti.Birra con struttura, ben confezionata e dinamica in bocca, sebbene dominata da toni dolci, ma per nulla noiosi. Lieviti di qualità che danno quel pizzico di fruttato acidulo. Mi manca un confronto diretto con una vera scotch ale, tuttavia la sento nell’anima più belga che scozzese: si riconoscono maggiormente i contributi dei lieviti belga che di corposi malti tostati.

Ah Mc Chouffe. What happened is we had a tasting at my mates. I brought the beer as most of my mates know sod all and we all chipped in. Know less than me even. Heathens. My mate was that impressed that this sounded like his name he just bought a load of Chouffe, nice, Mc and the Dobbelen. Because he’s a southern shandy drinking noodle armed choir boy I got to mine sweep his beers after mine had been done in. And then I threw up on his drive. Good times.

750 ml bottle.
Pours a dark, only slightly opaque brown colour with a large, foamy, natural white head. Aroma of sweet dried fruits and syrup. Flavour of sweet caramel malts, syrup, raisins, mild nuts and some hops in the background. Medium bodied with a thick mouthfeel and a dry, slightly warming, malty finish. Yet another pleasant brew from d’Achouffe.
