Chimay Bleue (Blue)

Bottle. This one was approx 3 years old. A muddy deep brown pour with a decent head on top. Aroma of dark fruit. Tastes malty, fruity, spice, caramel. This was quite port like. This was a pretty good bottle but Chimay Blue used to be so much better in the 90’s. Still pretty decent.

One of my favorite beers. Very strong aroma, and a premium taste of chocolate, and spices.

750ml bottle poured into a trappist glass produced a thin, tan head with dark red body. Aroma of white grapes. Taste of grapes and other fruits and spices. One of my favorites and right up there with Rochefort and Westvletern.

A faint nose of yeast and pear. Taste is of chocolate, anis and spices, I remembered this as better. Lots of bottles in the cellar, though, so I will rerate within the near future.

deep mahogony pour with thick foamy off white head. dark fruit, baked bread, and nutty malt aroma. dry, dark figs strengthen in finish. a bit aggressive up front. body is well balanced and moderate. My wife picked this up for me after I had a long run. thanks meg.

A good beer, all aspects are above average. Overhyped for sure, but still really good.

Bottle. Pours an opaque chestnut color with a nice, fluffy tan head. Aromas of bread, fruit, and malt. A bit of an alcoholic burn on the way down with some bitterness. Medium to heavily bodied. Overall, a very nice product from those crazy Belgian monks.

I was all exited about trying this trapist ale however I bought it in a local market FAKTA in Denmark, which destroyed a bit the magic but here it goes. Very nice head, almost creamy, steady and strong, aroma is caramel, alcohol, mature malts and herbs, taste is very good, no tanginess, however it is a littlebit sharp thanks to big amout ot alc. very nice strong evening brew, I expecteed it to be more smooth but It is great anyway, caramel, this belgian ammy sort of taste and fruit background,
