3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark brown color with a medium head. Very malty aroma. Dark, sweet malt taste. Lots of nuttiness and some toasted husk flavor. This definitely seemed more like the description on the bottle (brown ale) than a Scotch Ale.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This one pours a rich, almost opaque chocolaty brown. Aroma is strong and malty and just a touch sweet. Flavor is rich, remarkably sweet but not cloying, strongly malty with hints of fruit and butterscotch and a nutty trace. There is just a tiny hit of hop bitterness. Very smooth and pleasant to sip.
3.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Liqourama. First beer of this style and I liked it very much. Nice malt and sweetness taste. I found a distinctive taste that I could not make out, but I did enoy this beer very much and will buy again.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
I was let down by this one. This is the 2nd chouffe beer I’ve rated and I loved the first one (doublen IPA). This one didn’t seem right to me. Poured a nice brown, with a fluffy head. So carbonated it sounded like you had just poured a Coke into a glass though. Taste was metallic with too little malt, and almost no hops. And to think I put the Doublen IPA back to get this one...
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle pours a brown and ruby body with a big white head. Aroma and Flavor is sweet malt, sweet caramel, some burnt malt, and woodiness. Little presence of hops but a noticeable etoh finish.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark brown colour, full foamy beige head, full one, caramel, hops, sweets like candy, only wrong thing is: there is only a 75cl bottle to buy.

Mc Chouffe is a deep brown amber color with a very nicely pronounced tan head. The aroma is full of fruit with a nice malted base. The flavor has a great malty base with notes of fruit and caramel. The finish is also very nice.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUN 16, 2008 Hazy brown with big, foamy tan head / Light, funky chocolate and toffee nose / Medium body, highly effervescent providing even lighter feel, with sweet, syrupy malts and decent finish / Muted, somewhat simple flavors of toffee, wood, smoked, and vanilla / Mediocre.
