Dark copper colour,with a nice malty nose and a full rounded malt fruit with a bitter finish
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy red-brown colour with okay off-white head. Very mild aromas of fruit and caramel. It is a bit vinious, based on caramel and with undertones of sweet red berries. A mild hoppy finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
probably the most rated beer that i haven’t rated already.
I haven’t really been able to dig the blue, so this might be interesting.
red/amber/brownish with a big smooth thick offwhite head.
aroma is a subdued dark fruits, caramel, faint toffee.
flavor is extremely balanced and complex, comes off as chocolate cake with cinnamon, with cocoa on top, in other words, spicces, chocolate, cocoa, sweet malts, very faint dark fruits.
i don’t like chocolate cake with coacoa on top, and am not a fan of cinnamon, so this one gets a low rate.
even though it tastes rater bad, it is easy to register that it is a very well crafted beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
This bottle was in Marts 05, when I tasted it, out of date by the end of 07, so it was pretty young. It has a nice, creamy head, a beautiful mahogany color and a fruity aroma. The mouthfeel is semi-oily and the flavour is sweet and has the characteristic Chimay taste and notes of fruit. The bitterness is light, but OK and the alcohol is still too dominant in this young beer.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Ruby with medium lasting cream white head. Fruity malt and yeast aroma. Sweet malty flavour with all the yeast notes and the slightest hint of bitterness.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Nice big lasting tan head. Color is brown. Aroma is sweet and lots of spices. Taste is spices and sweetness as well. Good mouthfeel.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Full bodied. Malty, some fruitiness (apple, blackcurrant). Bitter finish. Very well brewed and delicious beer, but lacks in taste and complexity compared to a Rochefort.
