Slipstream (734), USA Mar 23, 2009 On tap. A good Belgian, not too sweet. Sour, fruity aroma and nutty flavor. bedainedebiere (274), Terrebonne, Quebec, Canada Mar 22, 2009 Chimay bleue: Dark brown beer, a classic with a reputation that often precedes a first tasting, which probably help to higher the drinking experience. I think this beer might benefit from some aging; in a blind test with friends, it did not score outstandingly high, although it was amongst favorites. Hidden sweetness, spices and sourness, for sure complex and interesting, not watery but neither an amazing texture. I really want to cellar some for a few years and re-rate... branspra (204), Arlington, Virginia, USA Mar 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours a dark amber color with an extremely large, frothy white head.

Complex and well crafted. kragelund (50), , Denmark Mar 17, 2009 Bottled 75 cl.. Bottled. Very Hazy brownish colour eith beige bubbly head. Sweet toffeeish plummy aroma. Sweet caramelly flavour. Alcohol is well hidden. dmschefke (371), Eastpointe, Michigan, USA Mar 16, 2009 Pours a dark brown with floating speckles and a small tan head. Aroma of fruit, malt, and yeast. Flavor of fruit and very smooth. There is a slight warmth due to the alcohol, but you can’t taste the alcohol at all. This goes down very easy and leaves a wonderful taste in the mouth. Strength of flavor was slightly disappointing, a little to mild for my liking.
