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.

This beer was good, but not 4.0 good. Aroma was fantastic with a strongly floral, almost candy-like character but admittedly I didn’t know what to expect from the trappist style. Flavor was solid, a heavy beer which I love with an almost flowery sweet/fruity flavor in there and finishes just a bit malty.

1 PT. 9.4 oz. corked bottle. Nice pop when uncorking the brew. Made my dog jump a little. Sweet aroma came up from the pour. Light brown in color with a tan head. Taste matches the aroma. Nice malty sweet aftertaste. Nicely carbonated. Would like to get another to see how it ages. Worth every penny.

From the corked bottle... Pours a rich, creamy brown with a medium-sized light tan head with adequate retention. Very pleasant to the nose with a refreshing flowery aroma that comes along with a fresh scent of yeast. The taste is spot on. Just enough spice and a dry finish that is just bitter enough. One of the best there is.
