Chouffe Bok 6666

Not too impressed with this one. Quite light and watery. Had better years of this one, the nice cherry flavor is still there, but there’s a sour, almost red ale hint to it.

bottle, 75 cl. Brown cloured, off-white head, reasonably dense and large. Aromas of candy, coffee, molasses, caramel. Tastes smooth, sweet, slightly bitter, average bok.

From tap@de Sluyswacht, Amsterdam. A low yellowish head resting on a bright, reddish-brown body. Discreet malt aroma, dry and clean though. Faint caramel and a certain fruitiness. Taste is dryish malty. Fruit and pepper tones. Noticable dusty and papery hop bitterness. Medium to light-bodied. Dry and powdery in the mouth. Dry malty, faintly hop bitter ending. An unusual Bock that goes well down.

Tasted 75cl. Amber bock from Achouffe, with a dry nose which contains a little caramell and spices. Clear, simple (small hopped) taste with a slighty dry finish. Not the best beer of Chouffe.

Bottle (0.75l): Amber coloured, clear, big stable off-white foamy head; solid sugary-caramelly nose; robust sweet-bitter flavour, medium to full bodied; increasing bitterness in the toffee-like finish. O.K., a not very complex brew.........

(75cl bottle, 6.66% abv) Hazy, amber colour with a thick and slowly lacing off-white foamy head. Sweet and toasty malty, slightly fruity aroma with notes of caramel, candy sugar and spicy elements. Moderately bitter flavour, full bodied with a calm carbonation. Solid toast-malty base with caramel/toffee and buttery flavours, accompanied by very subtle fruity and spicy elements. Bitter-sweet malt-accented and slightly hoppy finish (22.VII.09).

bottle, pours light amber with a tall off white head. Carmel malt aroma. Malty body ends with an awkward penny in the mouth metalic finish. Mildly bitter.

At a tasting, thanks DSG. Big head with big bubbles that stays for quite a while, lots of carbonation, clear light coppery colour, aroma of mushroom, stale bread and honey wax. Light malty flavour with a strange bitter sour sensation. Overall a fairly light bodied beer, i expected something with a bigger body and personality.
