Mc Chouffe

Brewed by Brasserie d’Achouffe (Moortgat)
Style: Scotch Ale
Achouffe, Belgium

Bottled. Pours brown, medium to large creamy head. Aromas of malt and caramel also dark and dried fruit. Flavors are similar. Overall, was expecting more flavor, alcohol is present but doesn;’t overpower. Decent but not great.

After the beer was served in the glass there was found a lasting quantity not wall adhesive light brown foam collar which was fine and evenly of structure. The beer also contained much carbonic acid in the glass. The beer has aclear dark brown color and a shoppy bitter taste. The after tast of the beer is hoppy bitter with a caramel touch. This beer smells roasted malty.

Large, creamy, light-brown head. Good lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Flat, thick, dark-amber body. Aroma: moderate malty, caramel and dried fruits. IF: moderate sweet and light bitter. FF: light sweetness and moderate bitterness. Long duration, fortunately. Palate: medium body, watery/creamy texture, lively carbonation and metallic finish. It tastes like dried fruits, caramel, chocolate - a wonderful taste. The alcohol is perfectly disguised. Liquorous sound when being poured. Lots of lees. 350s

Bottle from The Bottle Shop in Eugene, OR. I figured this one for a fuller beer than we tasted. It was more like champagne/scotch ale. A bit too carbinated, but very tasty regardless.

Dark brown colour. Malty aroma with a hint of clove. Flavour has a little bit of caramel and an overall bitterness. Soft carbonation.

Bottle 33 Cl. Dark amber colour, medium head quite sweet. Smells on hops and candy sugar, taste is a bit fruity with small acidity, not very complex quite bitter at the finish.

330ml bottle. A dark brown hazy beer with a reddish tinge and a thick lasting beige head. Aromas of dark malts, molasses and soft spiciness. Flavours of caramel malts with a restrained fruitiness (plums, figs) and a nice drying spicy hop finish with an alcoholic warmth. Nicely balanced and not overly sweet for a bruin ale. Medium to full bodied with a rich mouthfeel reflecting the ABV. Pleasant.

Sweet aromas, that are surprisingly absent in taste, a healthy amount of dark fruit esters and a faint oaken nature. McChouffe is dark brown in color, with a thin white collar. The initial taste is of dark fruit, a little fig or raisins with a dash of spices to include some faint clove, some underlying Belgian yeast, and the softest hops, there is also a mild oakey flavor to it as well. The feel is superb with a very pleasant spicy start, and an effervescent dark fruit fizz and feel at the end.
