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.

Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of sweet berries with a hint of alcohol. Taste of roasted malt with a hint of alcohol and bananas. A nice smooth finish. Out of the red and white labeled Chimay, this is the best one.

Bottle. Nice light red-brown colour. BIg short lasting head. Sweet aroma. Port, malt , yeast. The taste is booth fruity and dry. Sweet caramel. I think this beer is a little thin for so many and complicated flavours. Elegant but not great.

This is a great Belgian beer. I make this a staple in my beer diet as often as possible. Highly drinkable with candi sugar and a fruity ester present clearly from the yeast strain used in the fermenting process. Not overly high in the cloves coriander category which I love about this beer and seems to have just enough of everything to give it that distinct Belgianest flavor Ive come to love and appreciate over the years. A classic for sure..

Very nice appearance and smell. Taste of dry fruits and light yeasty aroma. Powerful and very delicate complexity. The best beer in the Chimay portfolio.

This pours dark with a small head that does have a little lacing. The aroma is fruit and malts with a little yeast. This hits the tongue and instantly satisfies and keeps on going as it hite the back of the tongue. This is the best of the Chimays and a very good bear for any type. The monks do things right in Belgium.
