Brasserie d'Achouffe - La Chouffe


La Chouffe, a fantastic Belgian brew, can be found in many specialty stores nowadays. If you are unfamiliar with Belgian beers, and you probably are, this beer is a great introduction. It is a golden ale with a sweet nose but once it ripples into your mouth it takes a sharp turn and the spices become fully apparent. "Why did you pour it into a wine glass, dumbass?" Your ignorance is astounding. To appreciate the full aroma of Belgian beers, they must be poured into a specialty wide-mouthed glass. If you do not have said glass, you may pour it into a red wine glass but you will lose major culture points. In fact, if someone poured me a Belgian in a wine glass I would throw it in their stupid face. In any case, La Chouffe is a brilliant brew and I would suggest it to anyone interested in trying new things. 4.5 out of 5. Drink it.

Typical male...trying to get me drunk. Actually, you make that sound really good (the beer, not the getting me drunk...sheesh).

For some reason I don't think the booze would be necessary.
