Mar 31, 2008 Small bottle. Copper dark red pour with a foam head that settled quickly. Sweet fruit aroma of apricots/raisins. Smooth on the pallet, blend of malt and sugary bread (yeast). Some spicy bitterness in the finish. Would have again but next is the Bleu.

Mar 30, 2008 Updated: Apr 12, 2008I’m getting the feeling that I don’t really like dubbels. this one is borderline undrinkable for me. Not at all interesting.

Mar 30, 2008 Pours a medium dark ruby brown. Foams upon opening, but head dissipates quickly once in a glass. Feels nice in the mouth, and the taste is even throughout (slight bitterness which is offset by sweetness and caramel flavors). Not as complex as I expected, but it is a very welcoming beer. I look forward to trying the other two Chimay brews for comparison.

Mar 30, 2008 Bottle, 33 cl. Aroma of Belgian yeast, accompanying fruitiness, spices, licorice, honey, apple. Flavor largely the same, with a nice hop finish I’m not accustomed to in similar brews (although I think this may just be my palate developing). Typical fine carbonation for a Belgian, solid brew.

Mar 30, 2008 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with a creamy, light tan (1 cm) head that persisted. Aroma of Belgian yeast, light fruits, and as it warmed, dark fruits (raisin, prune). Initial taste of sweet light fruit (apple, pear, melon) and slight bitterness in the swallow. Also an aftertaste of smoked beef (odd, I know). A lighter version of the Bleu. Drinkable and tasty.

Mar 30, 2008 Pours a hazy red brown with a short-lived head. Aromas are very fruity. Taste is mainly of fruits like banana, figs, apples etc and some nice sweet malt presence. An easy drinking and pleasant Belgian, not overly sweet or strong in flavour.

Mar 29, 2008 Very cloudy and brown with a light head that dissipates quickly after being dense initially. Hard to smell due to my congestion, but I did detect a fruity presence and some caramel. Slightly malty intro with a smooth sweet transition to a somewhat warming, mildly bitter finish.
