Chimay Bleue (Blue)

espuma de aparência inicial portentosa e cremosa, coloração marrom-claro e curta longevidade. Seu corpo apresentou tons marrom-claros, densidade média, turbidez e moderada formação de colarinho. No aroma, farejei algumas coisas que não esperava, como a suave presença de café, notas cítricas lembrando lima, bala toffee e frutas vermelhas - a bela complexidade de uma BSA. No campo do sabor, o início foi permeado por leves dulçor e amargor, sensações estas que foram suplantadas por moderado amargor no final, este de curta duração. Percebi ainda um marcante toque de frutas secas no paladar, o que aumentou sobremaneira o charme dessa deliciosa cerveja. No paladar, fui premiado com um corpo médio-cheio, de textura oleosa, forte carbonatação e forte final metálico

11.2 oz small bottle. No date. Into Chimay glass. Rich brown with some red hue with a light tan head that starts big but fades fast to an 8th of an inch and holds - no lace. Aroma is pretty solid and very typical of the style - sweet candy, vanilla, dough, dark fruity (like plums), some booze and licorice, and yeast. The flavor is the same but a bit less yeasty and just a bit better in general. Not overly sweet like many Belgians, but still sweet. Chimay hides the alcohol pretty well in this one, though it does heat the stomach pretty noticeably. Medium to light bodied with over-the-top carbonation like most other Belgians, all of which I am not a huge fan of. Overall: a solid brew, but wouldnt want more than one (or even more than about 8 ounces). A generally over-hyped overrated style IMO -- I just don’t get much complexity or sense much drinkability from it, and a good style has to have one or the other.

one of my favourites, the bottle I have was from 2006 (not sure on ideal length to age it, anyone?) Regardles is a great beer, nice light fruity aroma. MAlts give a nice sweetness(but not overly so) to go along with caramel and slight spiciness.Carbonation is low (almost like a cask) Very easy dirinking and very tasty

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with dark tan head. Aroma of yeast, alcohol, spice and malts. Light and fizzy on the palate with a heavy malt taste with a nice bite. I have to agree with others who are reminded of barley wine, although it’s not quite as heavy. A good brew none the less.

You guys know what this is about. Knocks your socks off. Had this as my 100th beer at Clancy’s in Bloomsburg, PA.

bottle from fox and the hound in lewisville, tx served in a pint glass. poured dark brown with a thick beige head. aroma of caramel and spice. a good smooth flavor of caramel, spice, dark fruits, and alcohol. this was my first chimay and i have no idea why i have waited so long to try it. an excellent belgian strong.

Pours a dark brown with a nice tan head. Smell of spice, dark fruit, sugar and alchohol. Very good beer but every sip I took I could not get past the fact that this bottle tasted like a barleywine to me....

Definitely a pleasant experience, not what one would expect from such a tiny, understated bottle. Doesn’t taste like any 9% beer. NIce aroma, great muddy brown appearance and the flavour is a fine and sweet.
