Mc Chouffe is the dark version of the Chouffe family, a deep and nuanced Belgian beer that proves that intensity can also be elegant.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows a dark color with ruby reflections and a creamy and persistent head. On the nose, spicy notes of anise and licorice appear, accompanied by sweet caramel aromas. On the palate, it is smooth and enveloping, with a round texture where spicy nuances, a fruity touch reminiscent of pear, and a delicate malty background combine. The finish presents a slight bitterness that provides balance and freshness.

Pairing and serving

It pairs very well with flavorful dishes such as roasted chicory or mushrooms. It also harmonizes with meats like cured ham, bacon, or grilled entrecote. With seafood, it combines with salmon, mussels, or oysters, and is especially interesting with gratinated or crusted goat cheese. Serve between 8 and 10 °C.

A dark beer that seduces with its balance. Mc Chouffe brings together spices, fruit, and caramel in a deep and gentle combination, perfect for enjoying unhurriedly.
