Commercial Description:
Chimay Bleu is principally distinguished by its character of a strong beer. This is a beer whose fragrance of fresh yeast with a light, flowery rosy touch is especially pleasant. Its flavour, noticed when tasting it, only accentuates the pleasant sensations perceived in the aroma , while revealing a light but pleasant touch of roasted malt. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Has a very thick foam when poured. The color is rich amber. The aroma is sweet and mellow. It has a roasty caramel flavor.

1.5L bottle. Pours a clear (initially) reddish dark brown with a thick and reasonably persistent head. Aroma of dark fruit, yeast, spice and alcohol. Fruity, spicy and yeasty flavour, mild sweetness and medium sourness. Medium bodied, lively carbonation, quite smooth on the palate with a sour, turning slightly bitter finish.

A very mild example of a belgin tripple. Sweet with hint of fig. Really all about the yeast.

750mL --> trappist glass @ 47F. Pours hazy brown. Medium white head sticks to glass. Nose is cherries and prunes; earthy and musty. Taste is sweet but not cloy and a little tart. There is enough earthy hops bittering and roasted malt to balance the sweetness. Almost no alcohol flavor is present. The liquid is medium body with prickly carbonation. Excellent. One of the classic Belgian strong ales.

Poured dark brown with a marshmallow like head. Great nose of dark fruits, spice, and belgian yeast. The taste is similar with belgian candy added along with fig. A great belgian style beer.

Pours deep brown with pillowy white head. Spiced, sweet candi sugar aroma which carries through the flavor. Nice alcohol note as well. The "Queen".

Clearly a beer that has a lot of fruit in the flavour. Lots of grape and other dark fruit in the nose and flavour of the beer. Of course there is lots of Belgian yeast in the flavour as well. Really a nice beer. One of the better Belgians I’ve had.

In bottle; pours red/brown colour with beige head. Aroma is sweet, almost like caramel. Taste of plums and fruit with a little sweet ending. A great beer ... should of tried it sooner
