4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Presentation: It was poured from a green 1pt 9.4oz bottle into a tulip glass. The abv is listed at 8.0% on the label and the freshness date reads "BEST BEFORE END 2011". The label also has a description of the beer its ingredients and the brewery.
Appearance: It is cloudy and dark brown in color. Through the murky body lots of visible carbonation can be seen rising up to the thick tan head above. This thick tan head has a dusting of darker brown yeast that looks like it was sprinkled with cinnamon. The retention is excellent and it leaves lots of cool lace rings and patterns.
Smell: The aroma is very big and pleasant. It has wonderful sweet bready a fruity maltiness with sour, funky and earthy yeast.
Taste/Palate: It has a deep rich malty character with notes of rich sweet breads, some dark sweet fruits, and sour cherries. It also has a defiant Belgian yeast influence as well, with some funky, dusty, earthy notes. (All in good balance) Also in good balance are the hop notes which are kind earthy and floral. They bring a good balance of hop bitterness to the finish which is a prefect mix of all complexity. The palate has a smooth firmness with a very lively and active yet gentle carbonation.
Notes: Outstanding!!! (IMO) I love the balance, the complexity and the feel.

Bottle 750ml. Great beer. Aromas of grain, burnt caramel, chocolate, and alcohol. Taste is sweet, with bitter notes, and long lasting. Palate is velvety, and medium-to-full bodied. Brown, with a long-lasting frothy head.

Has an aroma of caramel, malt and hops, with coffee notes. Pours a caramel brown haze with a thin head.Little lacing. Low carbonation level, more creamy. Just a great taste. You really can’t go wrong with any of the Chouffe’s.
