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.

An excellent beer. Since I love the premier so much I was expecting a bit more. Nevertheless, a great BSA. Very full-bodied, dark fruits, some spice. I get hints of licorice, cloves, and chocolate. Complex and awesome.

Pours dark mahogany with a nice head. Smells fruity and yeasty. Full-bodied with raisin, chocolate, and spicy flavors. Very complex; great beer.

Pours darkish brown in coloration. Huge fruity nose definitely some heavy apple aroma, raisin and dark fruit, slightly boozy as well. Very sweet, but delicios regardless. Flavors consist of apple some dark fruits, raisin, caramel, and a little toffee. If I had to change anything maybe a bit less sweet. Otherwise an amazing beer.

From a big bottle. Pours a nice beige head, which stays on the beer for a very long time. Spicy taste with a nice almost-sweet aroma.

Brown with big beige head. Very malty and yeasty aroma. Pretty spicy, and lots of malt. Rather strong alcoholic taste, rally not integrated. No pronounced hop, but sweetness is there. Good beer. Not my favourite since I like a little more hops.
