N’Ice Chouffe is brewed with thyme and curaçao orange peel, spices similar to those found in Belgian wits, but with its clear amber appearance and foamy tan head, this beer doesn’t resemble any other style. The aroma is bold with sharp alcohol and licorice tucked beneath the yeast’s spicy attributes. The flavor is equally strong with deep caramelized malts, burnt sugars, and dark fruity overtones that rush the tongue and work to hold back the big alcohol presence. The beer is very sweet, but not cloying or sticky -- just full-bodied with lingering hints of cherry and raisin in the finish.
