does not count  Dec 31, 2008 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.

Dec 31, 2008 330 ml bottle. Finland.
Very dark hazy brown with massive fluffy head. Yesterday I tasted the Triped (Blanche) and I was expecting something even better. Well, I do not know. I think Tripel was more flavoured. Here is a more alcohol present. Still excellent!

Dec 29, 2008 Once, an older relative produced a bottle of Chimay blue he had smuggled back from France - it was a mighty 9%!!! Of course we tried and hated it. Now of course its like a nectar of the gods - A murky chocolaty body, swirling with fine bubbles, a fine tan head. Flavours of port wine, sweet Arabian spices, autumn fruit and rich dark cocoa. The alcohol works well with these robust flavours, warming the palate gently. Its always reassuring that a beer as readily available as this still lives up to its reputation as a world classic.

Dec 28, 2008 Yeasty, sugary notes dominate the aroma. It pours a very dark amber, almost brown, and indeed the malt resembles a brown ale. The flavor is sweet and yeasty with some floral notes. Weighty texture with some alcohol notes. Yeast and sugar dominate the palate, not entirely to its benefit. I am probably signing my sentence to Hell by not writing a rave review of the Trappist efforts, but I am underwhelmed. Both the Premiere and Cinq Cents are better balanced.

Dec 27, 2008 Very fruitful flavor. Pours rather dark with a lite colored head. Very smooth. just what you would expect from Chimay. Good brew.

Dec 26, 2008 750 ml dated 11/07, according to cork. Fruit aroma. Slightly hazy brown/amber. Head didnt last in goblet. Taste is initially fruity-- not dark fruits either-- but then becomes darker, with plums, brown sugar and maybe raisins. Big malt, little hops. Cannot taste the ABV. Effervescent carbonation to a fault.
