WTF, funny name. Clear pale @ bocktown. Slight sweet perfume aroma. Quite strong in yeasty feel on the uptake. Some rational clove on the attitude. Yea, that ommy yeast is just so there. Becomes a little difficult. Finish is spicy clove with barely any co2. Could not appreciate.

Bottled, 11/24/14, on shelf until March 2014, refrigerated until drunk on 5/30/15
Clear, tiny-bubbled copper-blonde body is topped by a large, but quickly receding white head that sits at cover.
Chouffey in the nose; that is to say, sweet and cakey with peach and vanilla esters. Booze apparent but not aggravating. Bits of white pepper phenol as well as a moderate amount of banana.
I really don’t see how Brasserie d’Achouffe ever got famous. I really don’t care much for their beers and put them in the same class as most of the stuff from Huyghe. Pretty crude yeast profile, all told, though not offensive. I’m definitely over-reacting to how well-respected the stuff is. But anyways, suffice to say, I’m not a fan. The last glass of Chouffe I had, I didn’t even finish...
Back to the beer, diving in, it’s perhaps, a bit better in flavor. Still too much banana (can’t state ester of banana in beer) but at least some mustiness/dustiness from the Ommegang yeast. Sweet, yet kind of thin, somehow with perfumey booziness sharpening the finish. Clean, I guess? Maybe a bit of corn-like notes and just boozier and boozier as it warms up. I shouldnt have to race to drink my beer while cold, being afraid of the rampant alcohol with warming. Are they using a heavy filter on their beers now?? Really lackluster texture and fizzy carbonation. Not much here to speak well of. Yikes. I think we’re takin’ a walk to the ol’ drain....
