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

Serve in Thistle

Pours a dark brown colour with almost no head. the aroma is light malts and caramel. Taste is light sweet with a dry hoppiness almost not alc flavours. overall enjoyable

Malty, toasty and also a rather caramel taste. A very well dark red-brown variant of the original La Chouffe with a very good and sweet taste. It’s color is very nice but the foam rather week. Overall pretty good beer.

12 ounce stubby bottle poured into a Rochefort goblet. Deep russet brown with an ecru head. Poor retention, unbecoming of a Belgian beer, and little lacing. Aroma is primarily bready, dark fresh-baked bread to be exact, with some dusty raisins and vague red fruits. A little booze as well. Flavor is mild for the alcohol level; there’s a pleasant bready grainy malt profile with an unsweet chocolate undercurrent but not much in the way of fruity esters. Sweet caramel malt finish, dry with a soft alcohol presence. Palate is overrun by carbonation. This needs some swirling and time to settle down. I was expecting a dubbel flavor profile out of this dark 8% beer but that’s just not what it is. Rather pedestrian but not bad. Edit: Turns out this is a scotch ale. Weird, wasn’t expecting that. Explains the lack of yeasty/fruity notes, obviously, but it still doesn’t cut it overall.

Big fan of the Chouffe series... This is my best option for a Scotch Ales... Great brown color and less sweet taste, than the La Chouffe one.

Draft. Pours reddish brown with an off white head. Malty and toasty aroma with some light sweetness. The flavor is malty, with toasted grains and a light sweetness. Good, not great.

On draft at Issacs. A pretty, hazy brown pour with a thin, tan head. Aroma of candy, sweet caramel malts and mild hop. The caramel malts instantly disolve in your mouth parting the way for some fruits and spice. A mild bread and spice finish.
