Story & Heritage
ABOUT THIS BEER
The darker sibling to La Chouffe, from Brasserie d'Achouffe in the Ardennes village of Achouffe, the brewery founded in 1982 by brothers-in-law Pierre Gobron and Chris Bauweraerts and marked by its cheerful red-hooded gnome. Where La Chouffe is golden and spicy, McChouffe is a brown strong ale with a Scottish-ale influence: caramel, toffee and dark fruit over a warming, gently spiced body that suits the cold Ardennes nights it was made for.
On the Belgian Dark Ale style, A broad category of dark, malty top-fermented beers. Sweetness from caramel malts is balanced by yeast character. Rich but not overly heavy.
