(aged sample) Very pale peach-coloured beer; dull yellow coloured, huge, fine-bubbled head, leaving some lace. Spicey, quite hoppy nose, bit root-spice character. Again, very spicey taste, and fruity flavours, like red ’blue’berries (kind of European mini-cranberries). Very ’clean’ malt + hops taste. Medium bodied, no burn, the alcohol playing "hide-and-seek". Neutral aftertaste. Have you had enough beers that strive for exuberance in one or another exotic direction? You want a beer that tastes, well, like good BEER? This is it. Well, it was, as it isn’t brewed anymore.

Sampled draught at Frey’s Hörna, Stockholm.
Pale brown , lightly hazy, small head. Rich on caramel with a touch of hops. Medium bodied with fairly soft mouthfeel. Less sweet than many other Belgians. Well balanced, flavourful and unintimidating.

This had a large creamy head, excellent lacing over a deep yellow beer. Spicy orange aroma. Lightly sweet with some spice in the flavor but overall there could be more here than there is.

750mL bottle. Best before end of 2006. Pours a dull, light brown, some red hints and a lighter yellow hue. Bottle conditioned, but still mostly clear. Aroma of dry toffee, barley grain, dry musty blankets, and some cinnamon-like spice. Flavor starts out dull and dry, with a classic caramel malt, some lightly peppery spice. As it warms, it picks up some lightly sweet fruit flavors (cherries, dates, prunes), though it is still quite dry, and very subtle. Dosent seem to really get terribly interesting. Just a straight up well brewed scotch ale.

A yellow beer with a beutiful head. The aroma is of the characteristical d'Achouffe yeast added corriander. The flavor is of corriander, d'Achouffe yeast, and spices. A very average Belgian ale.

2003 vintage. Poured deep red-brown with a creamy medium light tan head leaving nice lacing on the glass. Aroma had a touch of orange peel, yeast and dark sweet fruit. Flavor was classic Belgian Strong, with a yeasty, bready beginning leading to fruit development and perhaps a hint of cherry in the aftertaste, supplemented by a touch of orange peel and alcohol in the finish. Sweet and fairly complex, but not among the best examples of the style; there is nothing groundbreaking or innovative about this beer, but it is still tasty.

Bottled. Ruby colour, lively head. Funky grapefruit mingle with toffee and yeast in the nose. The sweetness is balanced by a rich, but not overly heavy maltiness. There are notes of honey, oak and caramel. The finish is mild with just some grassy bitterness. A malt accented and discretely complex beer. Very pleasant, but not fantastic.

Deep brown (black) body. Brownish frothy head, non-homogeneous. Good lacing. Spicy and lightly malty aroma. Lightly alcoholic, malty flavour: bitter sweet.

Blond colour, a lot of yeast-particles in the body (probably my own fault - or the barkeeper's ) Hazy body. White frothy head, mostly lasting. Not lacing Citrus and flowers in the aroma. It's been a long time I've drank a beer with such a nice aroma. Lightly sweet - moderately bitter initial flavour. moderately acidic - heavy bitter (long) finish. Oily texture. Lively metalllic mouthfeel. Very pleasant beer.

Very dark brown, but with clear red shine; very thick, beige head, quite stable. Rich, warm malty nose, at the same time piney - not hoppy. Very sweet taste but with overtones of burnt malt and burnt caramel. Liquorice, herbal notes (aroma's like aucuba leaves, or maybe thyme). Velvety, creamlike mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden, but the warming, heavy feeling says it all. This is far from bad. Achouffe seldom is. But imagine this being made in DFH... explosion of hops, chocolate and alcohol - or St. Bernardus - explosion of vinous, fruity, and chocolate notes. Achouffe is just too polished for that. Sorry. I am.
