Jan 18, 2009 Bottled. This dark brown beer is lightly fizzy on the tongue and has flavours of chocolate, port, dried fruits, and dried sugar. There is also a floral quality and an enjoyable bitter finish with a hint of warming alcohol. World class and deserving of both its reputation and popularity.

Jan 14, 2009 Multiple samples over time. Pours dark brown with receding tan head. Nose has mostly caramelized sugar with subdued dark fruit. Sweetish flavor with backdrop of mostly dark sugar, mild bitterness. Lively mouthfeel with relatively clean aftertaste, compared to what you’d expect from this sort of strong, dark ale. Still an immediately tasty beer, very likable, just not as contemplative as some of its cousins.

Jan 13, 2009 Bottle from ’t Brugs Beertje. Very nice beer. Dark brown with a good head. Like other strong Belgian beers it hides it’s alcohol very well. When compared to the other Trappist’s I prefer Rochefort, but still very good.

Jan 13, 2009 Updated: Jan 14, 2009Don’t bother with smaller bottles when it comes to the Chimay trilogy.. more than most beers 750mls are essential with Chimay. Chocolate,malt, floral grapefruit,dank suggestions & the type of spices that are probably illegal unless you’re a Monk and pray all day.

Jan 12, 2009 Dégusté avec french tickler le 10 octobre 20006.
750ml Bottled in May 2003. This was aged over 3 years in my beer cellar. Fantastic looking beer... small yeast deposits at the bottom of bottle. Caramel, Nutty, Wildberries, cassis, Dates completes the aroma. Light red wine taste to it... i almost feel like if this beer would of aged maybe 5 years it taste closed to a porto. Fantastic finish, this beer ages amazingly well!

does not count  Jan 12, 2009 Had this beer once a few years ago. Wasn’t into the stronger dark beers at the time, but surprisingly liked this beer. Its no wonder it is one of the top rated.

Jan 12, 2009 Smells library and sweet. All sorts of things going on in the flavor. Grapey, leathery, marmalade, Keeps going back and forth between sweet and earthy, musty and bright. Feels like whipped cream. Just dissolves.
Not my favorite flavor, but love how it melts in your mouth.
