Bottle. Dark red-brown colour with a big puffy long lasting head. Sweet malty aroma with spices and fruitiness. Quite a strong malty flavour with fruits and alcohol. Bitter-sweet aftertaste. A very nice brew indeed!

Big foamy head. Beautiful ruby dark color. Aroma has coffee and licorice. Malty flavor with lots of licorice and cinnamon. Strong alcohol burn. Long licorice and cinnamon finish. A very nice beer with just a bit too much herbs.

a sim rate: (on tap at Bier Circus, Croydon) Very spicy aroma with a bit of a synthetic washing powder scent. Tastes a bit like something battered and fried, but I couldn’t place what. Bit of a hard liquor edge to the aftertaste.

A fabolous smelling beer that HAS to be above 5 degrees C, otherwise it has a very powerful taste of alcohol.

Deep dark brown with a big off-white head, quickly fading. Big spicy aroma of cloves, thyme, cinnamon, a little hay-ish and definitely on the sweet take (caramel, toffee) with light notes of alcohol. Taste is more of the same original spiciness, very smooth altogether. I swear you taste the barley in there, siding sweet chocolate and candyish toffee. How belgians manage to balance their beers to avoid being cloying through spices keeps me in total awe. Slightly alcoholic finish. Creamy medium body, rather carbonated. Good, but I still prefer their Chouffe and McChouffe, so it’s a mild disappointment.
Resample many months later. I still don’t see this as my favorite achouffe product, but I liked it more than the first time, having this last version 1yr and a half older than the last one. Nice parsley and herbal flavors. Great flavor integration. Doesn’t get overly sweet, nice spicy bitterness. Soft mouthfeel. Rising from 3.7 to 3.9.
