adrosson (9), California, USA does not count Jun 22, 2009 Updated: Jun 29, 2009Large bottle - sweet but not overpowering, my friend commented, "this is almost like desert!"
Clem’s Bottle Shop nerdrocker101 (102), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Jun 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice murky brown with a medium tan head. Subtle floral and yeasty aromas. Taste of brown sugar, figs, and raisins. Full body with a creamy texture. VonkBrewer (13), Belgium Jun 20, 2009 Little dry dark brown, almost black, beer. Direct taste is not the best but after-taste is very good.
Good beer from time to time. DeanF (285), Paris, France Jun 20, 2009 Deep, dark, smooth. Looks great in a Chimay chalice. Tastes great, no notice of alcohol whatsoever. My only complaint is that it could be more complex, but it’s highly drinkable, and eminently enjoyable. leems (147), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 19, 2009 Bottle - pours a dark red/brown with a large fluffy head. Aroma is slight caramel and alcohol. Flavor is caramel, brown sugar, slight yeast. Your mouth is left feeling like there is a slight film in it. This is a very good beer and something even non-beer drinkers can enjoy. fluffy (229), Florida, USA Jun 17, 2009 pours cloudly brick red with an effervescent bubbly head. aroma is yeasty and alcohol. flavor is smooth and buttery, with a heavy alcohol taste with heavy malty tones, with tobacco and leather.aftertaste is oily and smoky. an extremely good ale, as is expected from Chimay. MagnumPI (56), Essex, England Jun 17, 2009 HEAL ICY BUM !
The beer is beautiful. It pours a dark brown that shimmers when held up to the light, with a yeasty froth of head. It smells mysterious. The drink is smoky, bordering on dry but with a distinctive flavour of malt. This bottle was in its second year and I loved every minute of it beelsebob (17), Antwerpen, Belgium Jun 17, 2009 This is an absolute pleasure of a beer. It looks beautiful, when the correct glass is used the head is lovely. It smells lovely, and drinks... well, I’ve almost not a bad wold to say about it. The only thing I can say wrong about it is the Chimay white is better, but I think that’s just down to my taste.
