Second place finisher in my book! Belgium sure knows how to make good beers. And Chimay is easy to get in Chicago, don’t know if it is as good here as it is in Belgium

Oct 11, 2008 Cloudy to the max, medium brown with a small tan blotchy head. Fades quickly. Aroma is yeast galore and fruit. Flavors of, again, yeast, peach, pear, apples. As it warms peppery spices show up that offers a nice addition. What a good beer!

Oct 9, 2008 Finally get a chance to do the notorious red. Bottle at the Hop House in Carnegie for $6.50. Very sparkley appearance. Hazy light brown. Good clean near candy aroma. Taste is rather strong and it doesn’t hide its alky content well. Very good creamy bubbly carbonation on the palate. Not as refined as many other belgie dubs I’ve had. Acceptable, none the less. Finish is a little coarse and difficult at times, somewhat like a strong ale.

Oct 8, 2008 Straw aroma with a little allspice mixed in. Rocky off-white head with tiny floating particles. Medium amber color, murky clarity. Sour initial flavor with a mild sour milk finish. Watery texture with a little chalkiness in the finish.

Oct 8, 2008 Pours a murky golden color with a small fizzy off white head. Small Particles. Aroma of spicy bready malts. Intitial spicy flavor with a sour finish. Watery texture. Pretty good beer overall but the Rochefort 8 and Westmalle Dubbel are way better.
