ciuspan (94), Hillerød, Denmark Mar 23, 2008 Jamen det er kreds når man får en Chimay, og denne er da også helt og aldeles drikkelig. evilsoc (191), Wales Mar 22, 2008 Dark rich brown beer with a touch of ruby and an off white head. Stunning sweet yeasty nose with complex fruit qualities. The flavour is full, doughy and perfectly balanced between sweet and bitter and the dry peppery finish is just lovely. A great dubbel. mvcramer (229), Arlington, Massachusetts, USA Mar 21, 2008 Just a great Belgian. Brown pour with an off-white head. Beautiful notes of dried fruit and sweet malt. The same flavors dance across your palate. A solid beer and a great starter for those that are ready to rise to the occasion and start drinking some more flavorful and refined beers. HughConway (364), Alabama, USA Mar 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours rich Mahogany with white head that slowly disperses. Malt aroma with fruit over tones. Nice spicy flavor with medium body. daknole (2805), Plantation, Florida, USA Mar 21, 2008 Not as good as the Blue, but really wonderful. All Chimays are great beers. Malty, dried fruits and spice. Cheers! Oscbert (531), Sacramento, California, USA Mar 21, 2008 ~Pours a dark redish cider coulour with medium sized fluffy head.
~Scent of malts and fruit apricot and plums. A little spice.
~ Spicy, fruity flavor. Some corriander maybe.
~ Feels tingly and sharp. A bit chewy.
~ Eh, this beer is ok. It’s a little too fruity and carbonated.
Upsets my stomache a bit. Chimay Bleu is definetly superior. chicagodri (1021), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 20, 2008 Pours a dark coppery color with a thin off white head. Aroma is mainly of yeast with some dark fruit. The beer is actually relatively sweet with some sweet malt and fruit. Light carbonation feel. Decent beer, but I don’t like it as much as others I feel. BritAlesRule (84), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Mar 16, 2008 Bottle into my Chimay chalice. Nice thick foamy head is quickly dissipating. Notice the caramel brown color is lighter than many dubbels. Rusty rain, cane sugar, and caramel apple in the nose with hints of light fruits. Medium body with perfect amount of carbonation. Taste is similar to nose. A classic dubbel.
