McChouffe from Brasserie d'Achouffe
Rating: B+
Enjoyed at The Elm Tree pub in Cambridge. I really like this brewery, so I was eager to give this one a try...
Appearance: Very deep garnet in color, with an enormous head. Surprisingly little lacing.
Smell: Rich and malty, with a hint of smoke and dark fruit. Belgian yeast filters through.
Taste: Scotch ale, with a Belgian twist? Caramel, raisin and fig. No smoke on the palate. Bitterness is well-balanced.
Mouthfeel: Medium body, good carbonation.
Drinkability: A little heavy after a while, but nice.

ooh, nice review, I think their Belgian IPA is the best. I've never had a better IPA.
I completely agree, that's one amazing beer!
