does not count  Jun 18, 2008 This was a strong beer, but the complex flavour compared to most beers makes it quite unique and delicious.

Jun 18, 2008 Grande Reserve, pours a rich dark brown color with an off-white head. Flavor of sweet caramel, Belgian yeast, and dark fruits. Very smooth, especially for the alcohol content. A great beer, the best Chimay has to offer in my opinion.

Jun 17, 2008 Bottle pours a rich, dark brown color with a thin tan head. Aroma of yeast, dried fruits, and burnt sugar. Flavor is slightly sweet, roasted malts, and dried fruits. Alcohol presence is noticeable, but not too strong. Great aftertaste that lingers for a while.

Jun 17, 2008 Updated: Mar 15, 200933 cl bottle - Dark brown unclear beer with a nice head. Aroma is filled with fruits, dried fruits, prunes and yeast. The beer has a widely ranged, heavy flavor, with a fullness that’s hard to beat. Flavors include Chocolate, sweet dried fruits, toffee and spices. Goes extremely well with the strongest of food flavors. Nice and rugged bitterness makes for a good late feel.
75 cl Grand Reserve 2001 - Aroma is malty and slightly vinous with hints of cork(?), ripe fruits and nuts. Flavor is also vinous with notes of yeast, raisins and lots of fruits! Very nice beer, the beer has really softened through the years and become very vinous, though not in a negative sense.

Jun 16, 2008 Small bottle from Press Club in Portland, OR--Poured a dark brown-aubergine body with a one finger white fluffy head that quickly dissipated. Malty, spicy nose. Rich, nutty, molasses, toffee, saccharine notes. This is one of the all time greats!

Smells sweet, earthy and sugary with notes of earthiness and molasses. Taste is sweet and malty with hints of spice, molasses, and candy sugar. Rich, full-bodied ale with a smooth, lingering, malty, sugary finish.

Jun 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours a dark brown body with a tan head 4 fingers high. Aroma is sweet malt, some belgian spices, and abv in the nose. Flavor is that. Not my favorite of the trappist ales but a solid choice and my favorite from chimay. You cant go wrong with this brew.
