Born in the shadowy heart of Fairyland, I am Mc Chouffe — bold, brooding, and brimming with character. Since 1987, I’ve been the dark side of gnome enchantment, brewed for those who crave mystery with a splash of mischief. With my deep ruby hues and creamy foam crown, I lure you in — but it’s my flavours that keep you spellbound.
Take a sip and tumble into a tapestry of aniseed, liquorice, toffee, and caramel, spun together with orchard fruits and whispers of pear. My rich body is smooth and layered, finishing with a playful bitterness that leaves a lasting impression. At 8% ABV, I’m strong of spirit and proud of it — a dark Belgian brown ale with a fiery heart.
So if you seek comfort in complexity, and you’re not afraid to chase shadows in the forest, come find me. I’ll be waiting — cloaked in spice, kissed by sweetness, and brewed with a gnome’s wink.
