Mc Chouffe

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

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.

750ml capped bottle, cloudy hazy reddish-copper color, nice big foamy off white-tan head that leaves good lacing in the glass, yeasty, fruity and spicy aroma. Bready malty fruity flavors, full and crisp palate, yeasty banana sweet sugary finish, good stuff.

Pretty good, but not as good as the Chouffe Nice. A little thinner and less malty than I had hoped for after the Nice, and after reading the reviews. Looks great, nice head and lacing.

Pours a nice clear dark copper color, with a thick foamy tan head. Nice lacing. Very sweet and fruity aroma. Malty flavor, with fruit, yeast, and sweet bread. The flavor is good, but not as bold as the aroma suggests. Medium to full body, abundantly, yet softly, carbonated. A little bit of anise and alcohol in the finish - something like a mild zing of ouzo.

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. Musty and earthy malt aroma. Reddish brown body, creamy light tan head. Malty semi-sweet flavor, with honey and some spices and fruitiness. Mild pleasant finish. Subtle, not over-powering. Very nice.

Oh man, really, really good. A scotch ale done right is so good, and this is awesome. I think I’ve had this before and just never rated it.

Poured dark brown with tan head. Aromas of yeast, malt, candy sugar. Milld sweet flavor of caramel, sugars, and some fruitiness. Medium/full body with lightly fizzy carbonation. Very good, I’ll definately have this again.
