Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Achouffe, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

750 ml bottle. Dark reddish mahogany colour. Tall light beige fluffy head that clings to the glass. Crystal clear. High carbonation level. Light raisiny aroma with a hint of candi sugar. Some soapy aromas and the traditional Belgian yeast character. Münchener malt. Medium-bodied. A bit sugary, but there is quite a bit of malt here as well. Balanced. The alcohol can be noticed, but is well hidden. Hints of black pepper and sweet raspberries. Very drinkable given its strength. Nice.

UPDATED: JAN 23, 2012 Bottle. Darkish colour with a small white head. Fruity and moderate sweet aroma. Lots of sweet dark malt in the flavour, with moderate fruity notes. Not THAT good as many want it to be

UPDATED: JAN 15, 2012 Verre de 10oz au Cheval Blanc provenant d’une bouteille de 750ml. Bière orangée, mousse mince et peu durable. Nez très sucré, avec une pointe d’alcool. En bouche la bière est trop sucrée à mon goût, elle sature le palais. Elle offre un goût de caramel, aussi. Bouteille de 750ml. La mousse est compacte et elle a une bonne tenue. Ajout de toffee au nez. Pas trop sucrée en bouche, bonne longueur. Nouvelle note.

dark brown body with an average belgian head,aroma,and taste.good but nothing outstanding.

From a bottle shared by Kevin. Cloudy brown body with medium-bubbled tan head. Sweet ’n spicy aroma - chocolate milk, cardomon, peach, and a bunch of other stuff I can’t identify. Very complex. Dry, lightly fizzy mouthfeel. The flavor keeps up the interesting spicy sweetness combo with milk chocolate, lightl roast coffee beans, and strawberry finishing with peppery alcohol. Bit too much alcohol in the finish for me but otherwise a fine beer.

Bottiglia da 75cl al Cantinone di Sampierdarena, versa colore ambrato scuro con non molta schiuma beige abbastanza evanescente. Aroma caldo e fruttato, al sapore dolce con forti sentori di uva e qualche accenno di frutti di bosco e un accentuato piccante d’alcool. corpo piuttosto robusto. Ottima.

Pours out a very nice brownish color with a medium sized lacing head. Aroma is of spice and some alcohol. Taste is sweet spicy fruit maybe some nutmeg citrus and some other spices. Very solid beer with a somewhat alcoholic finish
