Jul 14, 2009 Aroma is yeasty and vinous with allot of berry fruit, flavour is similar but more intense and deep with a long medium sweet finish that leaves very nice berry fruit flavours in your mouth.

Jul 12, 2009 Pours a deep amber color, with a frothy head that quickly diminished to a very thin one, that lasts throughout, with no lace. Nose of yeast, vanilla, plum and other dark fruits. Taste is sweet, a little spicy, and hints of booze. Leaves a very mild warming feel in the stomach. Overall, decent, but I’m left feeling that there must be better brews of this style.

Jul 11, 2009 Aroma of belgian yeast, grapes and some brown sugar. High carbonation. A little roasted flavor with hints of toffee.

Jul 10, 2009 Drank from a 1 pt. bottle. Impressive bottle, pops like champagne when opening. Pours a reddish orange color, with a unfiltered look to it, small white head. Great aroma. Carbonation is high. Champagne is a perfect description of this beer. In fact I think I may be popping a bottle of this in celebration instead of the bubbly! Cider like in taste, apple and wheat, reminds me of autumn. Fantastic beer. Will keep for toasting or celebration.

Jul 10, 2009 Screaming applesauce at me this has a very sweet nose. Pours a reddish murky brown with some white head the lasted. Wonderful carbonation that was champagne like and refreshing. Medium body and a very crisp finish. Flavor to me was all apple and I liked it. The finish at a slight alcohol warming but not enough to ruin it. I can get some plum and raisins out it and I really did not feel that it was too sweet. Overall I could really chill out with this brew many times

Jul 10, 2009 330 ml bottle. Nice dark nutty brown colour with light brown head. Unclear and hazy. Aroma has malts, nuts and earth, cookies, some oat too. Don’t know why, but aroma is little light, not so overwhelming than expected. Flavour has some alcohol warmth, some malty dark wheat aroma and banana. Sweet mouthfeel. Frankly, I had more expectations for this.

Jul 9, 2009 750 mL bottle from Trader Joe’s ($9.99). Pours a murky dark chestnut brown. The carbonation seems to give this a very cola-like head which was composed of large tan bubbles which disappeared very quickly. Light and sweet aroma of yeast and bready malts. Tastes stronger and better than it smells with sweet dark bready malts, caramel, musty yeast, brown sugar, cherry and possibly some other stone fruits. All that carbonation moves playfully over the tongue. Alcohol is quite well hidden. Certainly my favorite of the Chimay line.
