puboflyons (589), New Hampshire, USA Jun 28, 2008 From the tall 1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz. bottle marked L07-221. Pours a mahagony-ruby red tone with a puffy beige head that settles down after a moment. Sweet malts in the aroma and a little hint of fruitiness. Medium mouth feel. The taste was malted, slightly nutty, bitter, and with a hint of hops. A dryer finish. The alcohol is more prevalent in the flavor than in the aroma. I understand why it’s gets a decent rating. Not my style exactly but definitely a good brew. scooterbub (332), Lander, Wyoming, USA Jun 28, 2008 25 ounce bottle. Pours a nice red-amber color with a good siezed beige head that lasts. Taste is fruity and yeasty, while the aroma is fruity and of caramel. Has a pretty good mouthfell, that makes me want more. Overall, this is a pretty excellent beer as it is rather tasty, easy to drink, and for the quality it is priced fairly (About $4.75 per 25 ounce bottle). Also, I like the bottle and label design. azlondon (656), Fribourg, Switzerland Jun 27, 2008 Appearance: Dark redish brown. Little head.
Aroma: Malty, hint of blackcurrant.
Taste: Malty, fresh.
Info: 330ml bottle, 20/3-2006, 92/300 blipp (1631), Newark, New Jersey, USA Jun 23, 2008 Bottle. Pours cloudy brown with a fizzy beige head. Aroma is like peeled apple skin, with hints of caramel and spice. Medium body. Flavor has a general fruit sweetness, as well as a light spicy note. Nice. Goba (62), Brazil Jun 22, 2008 Finally one of the Chimay familly! Got this one at a local market, was surprised to see it there lying in the shelf. Pours a very pretty copper-brown, with a beige foam. Goes for some fruit in the aroma, with strong malt character, along with spicy. Some honey to it as well. Fruity flavor, with spice notes, malt and also some wheat esters evidents, specially in the lightly bitter aftertaste. Also some grain going on. The whole experience goes along with a soft alcohol feel. Lightly dense palate, with light bitterness. Good. / Finalmente uma da família Chimay! Comprei num Carrefour, fiquei suspreso ao vê-la na prateleira. Derrama um marrom acobreado muito bonito, com espuma bege. Tem algo frutoso no aroma, com caráter forte de malte e especiarias. Algo de mel também no aroma. Sabor frutoso, com notas de especiarias e ésteres de trigo bem evidentes, especialmente no retrogosto. Algo de grãos também acontecendo. A experiência toda é acompanhada por uma sensação leve do álcool. Densidade leve com leve amargor. Boa. uhre (339), Denmark Jun 22, 2008 Pours brown colour with a tint of red, the head doesn’t last long. The aroma is malty, with caramel and estere from the yeast. The flavor is full of caramel and yeast, but also a bit of dark fruit. The aftertaste is a bit bitter, which makes a good balance metsbcd (82), Connecticut, USA Jun 18, 2008 Very good beer, had it at a Mortons. Appearance and Aroma aren’t as great, but the taste more than makes up for it. Joakgust (320), Stockholm, Sweden Jun 17, 2008 33 cl bottle - Beer looks very much like the bleu, but is a bit more red. More like burgundy. Head is powerful and beautiful. Very malty aroma combined with nice banana esters. Flavor reminds one of a westmalle dubbel with a nice soft alcohol burning sensation, again filled with banana esters. Yeast is also very apparent. Not very dry, and very drinkable.
