Mc Chouffe

Sparkling brown look with a small tan head. Earthy aroma of nuts and dust, along with some dried fruits mixed with rum. Sweet sirup flavor, with notes of nuts toasted bread and something sleightly smoked. Its wellmade, just not my favorit style.

Bottle. Pours a dark mahogany body with a medium-sized tannish head. The aroma has some doughy/syrupy caramel, light smoke, and toasty malts. Pleasant carbonation...flavours of sweet caramel and dark bread - otherwise fairly complacent and straightforward.

33cl bottle. Pours remarkably similarly to coca-cola, with a clear garnet brown and fizzy, evanescent head. Dark fruits/port-like aroma, some burnt caramel, slight spiciness like a mulled wine. As per "scotch" style, hops are muted at best, showing up in a tinge of bitterness, along with the alcohol in a dry yeast finish. Tasty and quaffable, but nothing mind-blowing

Pours a clear, but dark, ruby. Some tan head. Nose is slightly sweet with a fruit edge. Flavor is mild with a strong sweet tone that has hints of a slight spice and a barely noticeable alcohol tone on the end. Feel has a slightly thicker bubble on it. Easily drinkable.

2/1/05 330ml. Hazy brown amber with small beige head. Malty musty aroma with a hint of coke. Some yeasty sharpness on the tongue with a good palate

Bottled @ Bar Asterix, Sao Paulo. Pours redish brown with a nice beige head. Aroma is very fruity and malty. Some herbs. Taste malty, caramel and oak. Nice bitternes in the end. Very good beer.

draught @ Brussels 9th Belgian Beer weekend. pours ruby with off white head. nose is bready, and nutty. flavor is same with subtle yeasty spice and brown sugar. decent stuff.
