The flagship of Brasserie D’Achouffe is a Belgian Strong Ale whose recipe, the brewers claim, was whispered into their ears by A. Chouffe, the last survivor of a colony of brewing gnomes. Spiced with coriander and bottle conditioned, it pours a sunny pale gold with a thick white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, mango and banana announce a complex flavor profile balanced by earthy yeast and subtle hop bitterness. Three 11.2 oz bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMCCHOUFFE\u003cbr\u003eMcChouffe (ABV 8%) is rated 98 on Ratebeer.com and 89 on BeerAdvocate.com. A dark Belgian Ale patterned after its Scotch Ale counterparts, it pours dark reddish brown with a moderate tan head. Top fermented and bottle conditioned, it boasts strong aromas of toffee, caramel, anise and dried fruits while achieving a taste that is surprisingly mild, malty and fruity. Three 11.2 oz bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHOUBLON CHOUFFE\u003cbr\u003eHoublon Chouffe (ABV 9%) is rated 99 on Ratebeer.com and 94 on BeerAdvocate.com. A combination of the traditional English style India Pale Ale and the Belgian Tripel, Houblon Chouffe uses a trans-Atlantic combination of three hop varieties to produce a purposefully bitter brew. Pale golden with a thick white head, its hop aroma is powerful, but so are notes of citrus, grapefruit, honey and malt. Three 11.2 oz bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHERRY CHOUFFE\u003cbr\u003eCherry Chouffe (ABV 8.0%) is based on McChouffe – a Belgian Brown Ale – with cherries added. It’s rated 48 on Ratebeer.com and 84 on BeerAdvocate.com. Ruby-tinted, it has a full cherry aroma with notes of strawberry, almond, spices, and port. Round-bodied, soft, and delicate, it has a satisfying finish, with very slight bitterness. Three 11.2 oz bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrewery Information:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNamed for Achouffe, the village where it began or (depending on the storyteller) for a colony of beer-brewing gnomes reputed to have once lived in the area, the \u003cbr\u003eD’Achouffe Brewery was founded in the late 1970s by brothers-in-law Pierre Gobron and Chris Bauweraerts, first as a hobby, and then as a full time venture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNestled in the green hills of the Belgian Ardennes, the brewery released its first ale to high acclaim in 1982 and has flourished ever since. A meticulous attention to quality, a tried and true application of brewer’s savvy and innovation, and an irrepressible talent for promotion (the popular gnomes appear on every label) helped propel the brewery to its current success.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eToday D’Achouffe (acquired by the Duvel Moortgat brewery group in 2006) exports award-winning ales to over 40 countries around the world and hosts more than 10,000 thirsty brewery visitors each year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Option1","offer_id":51259532116253,"sku":null,"price":19.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/2797\/6477\/files\/img_010106_cc290b6c-8aff-46bb-acb0-cab42db9daeb.jpg?v=1778170445","url":"https:\/\/purewinestore.com\/products\/chouffe-sampler-12-bottles-whiskey8-f35-p177","provider":"purewinestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
