Even better from draft. Unfortunally not as widely available as La Chouffe. Rustic, like a abbay double. Nice herbal and caramel taste. Real comfort drink. Visit www.achouffe.be or better the brewery.

A very tasty Scotch Ale. Flavors were caramel, hints of apricot, brown sugar, malt, and hops. Very smooth and flavorful. Pours dark golden brown with a nice creamy head.

armando629 (1939) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAR 25, 2009
UPDATED: MAR 26, 2009 Fantastic reddish-brown color with a nice foamy lacing head. Fine toasty aroma of caramel and candy sugar, nice spicy character of clove and cinnamon with some vanilla. After a while when the beer opens, there are some fruity character of fig and honey. Smooth mouthfeel with sweet and toasty caramel, some nuts and fine spicy taste of the fermentation. Strong in alcohol but it is not an off flavor. Balanced and delicious beer, absolutely correct!

This Belgium Brown ale is a little bitter on the innitial taste but a twist for a nice palate after! It poors dark brown with a big pillowy head. After finishing this bottle (especially if you drink the 75cl bottle) you will be ready for the pillow.

Nik925 (584) - California, USA - SEP 6, 2008
Mmmmmmm Dark and funky. A clean cherryness to the malt with a bit of chocolate undertones. Very Belgium for a Scotch ale...a winning combination! Unbelievably smooth, and that 8.5% abv is completely undetectable. Dark as night but if you get some light behind it, it glows red. Very good.

eManu (371) - Kuala Lumpur & Brussels, BELGIUM - JUL 24, 2009
Pours a very dark brown with a nice thick tan head. Aroma is pleasant of roasted malts and dry fruits with brown sugars. Flavor of roasted malts, fruity with plum and blueberry like sweetness. Some caramel, brown sugars and spices. Very well balanced, so pleasant, such a great tasting experience.

whitecap (163) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - DEC 2, 2011
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.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2011 33cl bottle @Bir&Fud Beershop (Rome). Dark brown appearance, aroma of malt, chocolate and caramel, sweet dark fruit. Delicate, sweet taste, quite complex, medium body. A very good belgian beer.
