The Brasserie d'Achouffe is a Belgian brewery based in Achouffe. It was founded in 1982 by two brothers-in-law, Pierre Gobron and Christian Bauweraerts, as a hobby. In September 2006, the brewery was bought by the brewery group Duvel Moortgat. Check out their website for some wild stuff about dwarfs or gnomes or fairies or some such:

The N'Ice Chouffe is a Belgian dark ale, pouring a deep, dark brown (ah hell, mahogany!) with a towering
four finger beige head. A whiff of that 10% ABV wafts through the nostrils. There's a lot of complexity here: licorice, figs, black cherries, spices. A great ale for enjoying on a cool autumn night.
