3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: FEB 21, 2011 The best of the Chimay. I have had the red and white also. Even though they are a treat this is the Crown of the the three. Definitely strong and gratifying to the eye. Full bodied with an incessant finish. I recommend this one.

Nice sweet rose cherry aromas with beauty pour; taste rich complex sweet and dark cherry; the best Chimay
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
one of the best beers ever, due to the yeast in the bottle, the high alchoolic presence, i’m trying to vintage some bottles...

4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Deep murky reddish brown with a pretty thick light tan head. Pleasant sweet aroma with lots of trademark Belgain candi sugar. Roasty flavor with tons of Belgian yeast and candi sugar. A little bit spicy, even. Palate is big and creamy. Not much to say other than this is an amazing beer.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured into a tulip glass. Nose is lightly sweet, not huge. The pour is dark brown and was overly carbonated as it took a long time to settle. Taste was not as big as I anticipated, a little brown sugar and mild raisin. I really thought this was going to be a bigger more robust beer. The palate was a bit thin. Overall an easy drinker for a 9% beer, just not as big as many other beers I prefer in this category.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
750 ml bottle. Pours hazy brown with a thick, long lasting tanned head. Aroma is of dark fruit, yeast and brown sugar. The body is full and smooth. Taste is dark fruit, brown sugar and Belgium yeast. Long lasting, dry finish. I used to like this brew much more. Must be my taste has changed over the years.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours dark and cloudy with visible floating yeast and a very decent head. Medium, malty aroma. Taste is of roasted malt, sweet and spicy, bit yeasty. Very little bitterness. Some coffee notes. Palate is medium bodied, high carbonation which makes it fizzy. A very decent Belgian Strong.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33cl bottle. BB 2015. Poured hazy darker brown color with a frothy, beige head, nice lasting lacing. Aroma is dark fruit and yeast, some alcohol also deteced. Flavor is raisin and plums, yeast and quite sweet with some spices in the finish. Also towards finish more alcohol warmth. Nice trappist, but not the greatest. The aroma wasn´t really so inviting. Should probably age for some years.
