Sep 1, 2009 Oh I finally tried a Chimay, this was delicious. Smells and tastes vaguely of it’s high alcohol content. Quite dark, heavy, good head, Chocolate and spice, very nice. My family was kind of questioning my taste when I gave them a sip, but hey...and half the bottle exploded in their fridge, what a shame!

Sep 1, 2009 Pours cloudy deep brown with a big dark tan head that dissapates. Very carbonated. Aroma of alchohol, dark fruits, bread and that wonderful belgian funky yeast. Taste is pretty much the same with some raisin and prune. Nice earthy, yeasty, bready finish. Nice roasted malt background comes in at the end. The alchohol is strong at first but settles down as you drink.

Aug 29, 2009 Appearance: Pours a dark hazelnut brown with a dense foamy light tan head. Throughout the session, the dense head never goes away.
Aroma: Light amount of sour funk and dry malts, bread crust and fruit cake.
Taste: Raisin, prune, rustic crusty bread, cocoa powder, finishing with Belgian yeast and spicy, earthy hops.
Mouthfeel: The dense head makes for a slightly creamy, moderately fizzy, medium bodied feel.
Overall: Bold and balanced.
