Chimay Bleue (Blue)

Brewed by Chimay
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Baileux, Belgium

Pours a muddy brown color with a beige head that has good retention. Forceful yeast aroma with some notes of grapes. Vinous flavor with dark molasses and prevalent yeast. Some dry fruitiness along the lines of figs. No alcohol taste whatsoever.

One of the first Belgian Strong Ales I tried. Lots of figs, raisins, citrusy fruits and brown sugar flavor. Deep amber/brown color and bubbly white head.

Awesome beer. had it with dinner tonight and i loved every second of it. It was sweet in aroma and taste. The was nice lastiung head and nice lacing. Yeasty and smooth, a great beer.

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.

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.

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.

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.
