Mc Chouffe pours a cloudy brown with a cloudy yeast sediment and a huge foamy head. The nose is sweet toffee, caramel and light scotch. A hint of fruit on the nose. The taste is sweet and bready with a toffee malt with a light spicy yeast and malty. The finish is dry and spiced well with a big body. Its a good beer, but not amazing.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
750ml bottle from the SAQ. Pours dark brown with a voluptuous beige head. Aroma of dark fruits and roasted/caramel malt and yeast. Some floral hops. Flavour is sweet with minimal bitterness with lots of sweetness. Alcohol is well hidden. I don’t mind the excessive sweetness and lack of substantial bitterness. Highly enjoyed this beer.

At the Red Lion. Not as peaty and smokey as other scotch ale but then this is a Belgian version of a scotch ale and well tastes like a belgian + scotch ale. Caramelly and sweet. Serving: Bottle
