Style: Scotch Ale
Achouffe, Belgium

Serve in Thistle

Pours brown with ruby edges when held to light. Large beige head with good retention. Aroma of caramel biscuits, malt extract and fresh fruit. Sweet malty flavour, though very well balanced all the way through. Hops there, but just enough. I actually prefered this to the La chouffe.

Draft. Slighly hazy red/brown pour with a bubbly off-white head. Didn’t get a huge head from my pour. Malty goodness on the nose, but with Belgian sugar (candied fruits) as well. Toffee and caramel, and some nice yeast. Similar to a dubbel but yeastier. A very, very easy-drinking Belgian.

Just a faint hint of smoke in the aroma. Rather sweet, just shy of cloying. Light hop on the finish.

A great winter warmer although I’ve enjoyed in the peak of summer too.Spicy,warming,malty..still sizzling on ym tongue.

Pours mahogany in color, decent white head fades to film. Very bready, yeasty aroma, some light fruit in the background. Flavor is very subdued malt with dark fruits and slight spice in the finish. Very dry finish.

aroma is caramel, sugar, fruit. taste is light alcohol, caramel, and rasien.

BA BBF 06. dark brown. Aroma was malty and spicy. Taste is malty and sweet, with some spices, lightly bitter and spicy finish.

UPDATED: APR 18, 2007 Pours dark, hazy, reddish-orangish with a mostly receding, wispy, foamy tan head. Considerable lacing. Aroma of phenolic apples, spice, bubble gum esters, tripping toffe covered pineapples. Taste is vinous, raisins, toffee, peat, earthy malt. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a soft wispy touch and lush carbonation. Very elegant Belgian ale.
