flatmatt (221), Northville, Michigan, USA Dec 24, 2008 750 mL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a light tan head. Aromas mainly of dark fruits, red grapes and raisin. Flavors of raisin, cherry, nuts, a bit of yeasty green apple, and a pleasant touch of alcohol. An excellent dubbel. smjohnst (202), , Pennsylvania, USA Dec 23, 2008 Very very unique. A bit sweet but nice and strong. A great compliment to the other two chimays KnutAlbert (3108), Oslo, Norway Dec 23, 2008 Full malty beer. Fruity: Cherries, apricots, a bit vinous. Rich and complex, very Belgian. A little stable or barnyard. A great beer. SkyCop32 (286), Morlautern, Germany Dec 21, 2008 This pours dark brown with a good rich color. This is not the best Chimay has to offer but still a top of the line beer as it is well rounded from front to back. The aroma could be better, but the taste makes up for it. liinis (695), Helsinki, Finland Dec 19, 2008 very rich flavored and fresh. spicy and delicious. Very highly appreciated. No doubt. ErikTheViking (76), Oslo, Norway Dec 12, 2008 14 Nov 2008: Brown, somewhat unclear, hazy, large head. Be careful with the yeast in the bottom of the bottle, even though some of it should be included. It actually makes it better, less sweet taste. A bit sweet aroma, smells like Belgian beer. Sweet bitterness. I am generally not a great fan of Belgian beer, but this was actually not bad at all. punkrkr27 (608), Berkley, Michigan, USA Dec 10, 2008 Rust colored pour with a large rocky off-white head. Soft dark fruit aroma with faint candi sugar, alcohol, pepper, banana, and slight green apple. Apple cider flavor with notes of plum and spice. Dry medium body with lots of carbonation. Frauditor (148), Hagerstown, Maryland, USA Dec 10, 2008 Bottle from set available at the wooden keg. This is probably my favorite of the blue, red and white. So smooth and buttery. pours dark brown maybe a hint of red with lots of thin bubbles. Taste is bitter and overly bubly at start but as the beer warms the palate becomes smooth and the flavor really comes out.
