Description
The history of the brewery Achouffe is like a fairy tale. "A hobby became a profession in its own right," joke the founders Chris Bauweraerts and Pierre Gobron. The two friends begin their brewing operations in 1982 in the small Ardennes village Achouffe. In 2006 the enterprise was taken over by Duvel Moortgat Brewery. The brewery is still an independently run operation, though the 33cl bottles are bottled in Breendonk.

330ml bottle. Pours a cloudy red brown with a medium, foamy, long, lasting, beige head that leaves sticky curtains of soapy lace. Sweet aroma of bready caramel malt, Belgian yeast, candi sugar, plum, raisin and thyme. Sweet flavour of bready caramel malt, orange peel, candi sugar, plum, Belgian yeast and thyme in a dry, warming booze finish. Full body with a thick, creamy, smooth texture and soft carbonation. Malt forward, enjoyable and the abv is well hidden.

Clear golden with a tall white head. Sweet fruits, honey, coriander, spice. Medium bodied. It’s a totally fine beer while also nothing outstanding.

On tap at Hops, Crewe. Pours almost black with minimal tan head. There’s dried fruit and spices in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy, but with a touch of bitterness too. Flavour starts off with raisins, orange peel and spices. Traces of figs and chocolate come later as does a whole dollop of alcoholic strength, leading to a dry finish. Nice by name, nice by taste !
