Commercial Description:
Chimay Bleu is principally distinguished by its character of a strong beer. This is a beer whose fragrance of fresh yeast with a light, flowery rosy touch is especially pleasant. Its flavour, noticed when tasting it, only accentuates the pleasant sensations perceived in the aroma , while revealing a light but pleasant touch of roasted malt. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

light brown smooth head and a woodsy, malty, bourbon, slight cherry/rose taste, with all the earthiness of a strong beer but very easy to the palate. Exceptional.

There is only one word that describes this beer. TASTY! I have just started enjoying Belgium Ales and this is one of the Best. A nice deep auburn color with a deep tan head. No one else in my beer club enjoyed it, so I had the entire bottle (750ml) all to my self. It has a complex flavor with a little sweetness and some deep earth flavors. This beer s to be enjoyed not drank.

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!

After trying more belgians over the few months, they are definitely evolving into my favorite style. The Chimay is an excellent representative and hits all the typical trappist notes, which a the flowery nose, sweet flavoring, complex character, and pleasant finish. Good stuff.

Simplly put, this is one of the best beers I have ever sipped. Right from the start the aroma of the beer was nearly a breath of freash air, infused with citrus and hops. Its finsish was very smooth yet had a subtle punch. I defintly suggest this beer to anybody who can find it.

750ml bottle. An old standby and for good reason. Pours dark brown with a tiny head. Aroma and flavor of fruits, malts, and caramel with maybe a hint of chocolate. Awesome on the palate with a smooth medium body and a nice fizzy carbonation. Always a good choice and definitely the best of the three flagship Chimays.
