Apr 24, 2008 Updated: Jul 27, 2008courtesy of oteyj. pours a dark walnut color with a steady, slow to die head, really persistent carbonation. aroma has a lot of dark fruit, grape, sweetness. flavor is incredible- very sweet, but the complexity is so subtle that it remains so smooth. delicious aftertaste makes you want to take the next sip so the taste never leaves your tongue. one of my favorite beers of all time.

Apr 19, 2008 Pours brown with light tan head. Aromas of dough, bread and brown sugar. Flavors are sweet and fruity, with yeast and some dark malts. Medium to full body with tingly carbonationand a slick mouthfeel. Very nice.

Apr 18, 2008 Updated: Jun 13, 200811.20 bottle: Yes another beautiful from Chimay. Dark brown color with an off white/tan head. I used to think this was the best but now I think I prefer the Red over this one. Both are great beers but just the hint of hops in the Red make it more complex. This beer also has a wonderful rich taste consisting of sweet dark malt with a syrup-esque feel and a hint of bubble gum. It also has an aftertaste to go along with it, but the Red’s aftertaste is more poignant. Nevertheless I love Chimay.

Apr 17, 2008 Bottle, served at cellar temperature... Poured deep, foggy ruby with a beige head that formed massive and quickly. Aroma of thick malt and lurking alcohol. Big sizzle on the tongue with a nice sting. Flavors of big malt and brown sugar and other fruity flavors like apples. Finished with a wine-like aftertaste.

Apr 15, 2008 Pours a light cola brown with little head. Initial aroma of apples and cloves, moving into dark cherries and yeast. Very high carbonation, much like Piraat it drinks like a champagne. Flavor makes those apples and cloves turn darker, moving toward raisins and malts and intensifying the cherries. A good solid complex Belgian, but nothing to write home about - it doesn’t pack the punch I like in a strong Belgian.

Apr 15, 2008 Nice belgain strong ale.....my second least fav of the style but that being said.....still a solid beer...has the yeast character that I find with all of the chimay beers...that I don’t like...but everyone else seems to love......good complex malt flavor.......tons of esters
only if people would serve this at correct temp!

Apr 15, 2008 Ok, I love trappist beers and this is one of the better ones. It’s great because it has wonderful flavor and it is not as expensive as the other Trappists. Very complex flavor. Great color, smell, everything about this beer is great!
