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.

Great beer - absolutely perfect with a good cigar (Fuente Hemingway Best Sellers!). Kick back with those two and life is good!

This is my favorite beer of all time. And I have had numerous! It satisfies all seasons, all moods, all moments. I am one of those weird individuals that could pair this beer with any food, at any time. May our LORD & Savior Jesus Christ bless the soul of Father Theodore- may his soul rest in Heaven!

First Belgian Strong I ever tried. God bless the Flying Saucer in Ft. Worth for opening my eyes to Chimay. I like comparing Chimay to champagne because of the crispness of a freshly poured glass.

The best beer I’ve ever had. Just the right balance of malt and fruit and not overly strong. Let it warm up a little and it tastes even better.

330 mL Bottle. The label is marked with a "serve before end of 2014" best-before date. Murky deep copper-ruby body with a pale beige foamy head that settles to a clingy ring. Aroma of roses and cherry candy as well as malts and roasted malts; there are nuances of wine and wild berries. Flavor! Wow! This is a chart buster but here I have to give it the limit of 10. Okay, I’ll transfer the bonus points where I can. Wild berries accompany the malts in the mild but delightful sweetness. There is a wine-like expression in the aftertaste, a cherry cough drop linger, and then a nice clean finish. This beer has tied on my scoreboard with its own sibling, Chimay Triple / Blanche

I love the way this beer looks in the glass. Medium in color with a nice head. Once you turn the glass upward the smells start to come, nice floral scent with some yeast. Next is the taste, wow possibly the best beer I have ever had.Taste like the scent only more so.
