Pleasant sugary aroma is fruity, yeasty and some kind of spicy. A bit sweet Flavor is fruity and yeasty with some spicyness. Palate is full-bodied, foamy and quite much carbonated. 12many (231), Ohio, USA Aug 15, 2008 Bottle. Reddish brown much like the label with a nice white head. Aroma of ripened dark fruit, molasses, caramel malt, and belgian yeast. Flavor is mostly sweet with just the slightest touch of tanginess. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with over average carbonation and finishes very well. Great beer and very much enjoyed. Gypsy19 (604), California, USA Aug 10, 2008 Initial taste is of old nickels. After the first few sips, the fruit essence comes through and a creamy body balances everything out. This is a good beer indeed, though a little overrated in my opinion. Still, very enjoyable and recommended. Sparky27 (1567), Phoenix, Arizona, USA Aug 9, 2008 330ml Bottle. Second in my three beer Chimay vertical. Pours a murky brown with one finger beige head and light lacing. Nose is light fruits, malt and Belgian spices. Taste is cloves, sweet fruits and malt with a yeasty finish. Medium mouth feel. I actually liked the taste a bit better than the blue – not as cloying, yet not nearly as complex. bp (452), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 9, 2008 Bottle: pours a cloudy reddish brown with a thin white head, sweet dark fruit aroma, taste is sweet and malty.
