Jul 13, 2008 I thought this beer was quite good!! Color is a deep, deep red with a light tan head. Aroma is very low but a maltiness is noticable. Taste is huge and very long lasting. I notice nectarines (dark citrus), raisins, cherries, caramel, and a finish of slight alcohol and brandy. Alcohol in finish is more of a compliment than detriment. There were many very fine champagne-like bubbles (seemed high on carbonation but not uncomfortably high). Overall very lovely and quite tasty.

Jul 12, 2008 pours a burnt amber color with a thin head that still yields nice lacing. A very pleasent and welcomed honey almond aroma. The flavor is extrmely deep, hints of fruits raisins nuts and a well hidden alcohol. the mouthfeel is nigh majestic. Nice carbonation and coats the mouth well with a long aftertaste. This is one of the better beers i have tasted.

Jul 12, 2008 Pours a rich, reddish ochre, with a faint nose of yeast, malt, and honeyed-fruit, though with a quickly disappearing head. Full on the palate, very pleasant blend, and making up on the palate for what it lacks elsewhere, thereby delivering a memorable beer.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Dark brown pour with a thin head. Aroma of chocolate, green apple and vinegar. Rich malty, fruity taste with hints of chocolate and toffee. Full bodied with alcohol nicely hidden.

Pours a rich reddish caramel color with a small beige head. Smell is caramel, and fruitiness in the way of strawberries. Taste is fruity, sweet caramelized raisin, red fruits (strawberry) and a fizzy body with medium thickness. Nice flavor overall, and very pleasant and bubbly. Solid beer.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a deep cloudy brown with a firm beautiful beige head. Sweet aroma. Taste is sweet of plums and toffee, with a touch of roasted malt in there- finish is faintly bitter and dry. 9%???!!! can’t smell or taste it, amazing. My favorite chimay.

Jul 10, 2008 Definitely one sexy looking beer. Intense all the way through, with a hint of the alcohol showing through. Flavor comes back nicely when you burp, but this is one beer you don’t mind repeating.

Jul 9, 2008 Ever since the Rohefort 6 I’ve been in love with Trappist beer. This weekend I’m finally going to Illinois ot pick up the Rochefort 10 but I figured that the Chimay would tie me over until the weekend. Full and beautiful as only a trappist can be with hints of chocolate and toffee in every sip. The aroma is less fruity than an Aventinus and all delicious beer. This one really surprised me.
