Sep 26, 2004 Updated: Sep 30, 2007 Nov, 2002: Mud, pepper, year old lemon juice, alcohol. Not good. [1.9]
Sept, 2004: This seems to have more pepper than most. The ingredients list doesn’t inspire confidence in this being a quality product. Hop extract and wheat starch? Rougher and more interesting than <a href=Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=400&FanOfID=4383>H Grand Cru, though less attractive and pleasant to drink. [2.7]
Sept, 2007 A peppery, smooth and strong beer with a chalky, dry finish. Hmm. Must compare this with Duvel one day. Sugar notes. Pleasant enough - warm - almost hot - alcohol. Not unpleasant, but not outstanding either. [3.0]

Jan 27, 2006 Bottle. White creamy lasting head. Clear amber body looking to have a good deal of carbon dioxide. Aroma claimed to be with muscat and raisins, I could not tell, I just found it fruity. Very pleasant smooth flavor, bitterness without being too much despite the high alcohol percentage.

May 16, 2007 Picked up a single 11.2 oz bottle from Cellars Wine & Spirits in St Paul, MN. Pours a hazy golden amber brew with a thick fizzy off white head that slowly dissolves to a fine film. Very nice lacing. Aroma of straw, bread dough, some earthy must, yeast and a touch of citrus. Taste is sweet, highly carbonated, a touch of citrus tartness, and a little pepper aftertaste. An interesting tripel.

Oct 30, 2005 33 cL bottle. Slightly hazy medium-golden pour with a short white head and some black sediment. Nose was strong with the Belgian yeast, lighter fruits (green grapes, raisins, pears), peppery spices, and some floral-type hoppage. Crisp and clean mouthfeel, and lightly astringent toward the back. Rather highly-carbonated, but ideal for flavor development here. Flavors followed the aroma well, with bright lighter fruits, some breadiness/mustiness from the yeast, pepper, oranges, and a wonderful floral/herbal hop presence. Lightly warming on the way down, and a long-lasting fruity and yeasty finish. This is a most excellent brew!

May 5, 2004 Updated: Nov 26, 2005Cloudy orange fizzy pour. Carbinotation made it interesting and classic Chimay.Tasty but worth sharing the bottle if without food. Bit of spice and pepper and (sour) yeast in taste. Bit bitter and alcohol feel. Aftertaste was dry.

Dec 3, 2005 Bottle (330ml). In my Chimay goblet. Poured hazy orange-gold with an average foamy-creamy white head, plenty of bubbles and tiny floaties. Aroma of spices, banana and other fruits, slightly sour candy malt, alcohol - very ashy and bitter as it warms up. Taste is bitter yeast, some fruit and malt behind, bitter spices, alcohol. There’s a long, shifting bitter finish to this one, the body is average, it’s quite lively, but I have to admit it’s my least favourite of the Chimays but it’s a solid tripel/strong blond. I look forward to aging a half dozen of these and revisiting at a later date.

Dec 3, 2002 Updated: Nov 5, 2003Appearance: Image of Sahara desert just before dawn, thick pillow, dancing yeast on CO2 bubbles. Aroma; Alcohol is proudly standing in the front line , shy salt and pepper is hiding before well known Belgian yeast , Baltic sea ice .
Taste: Der Kommandant reported that proud alcohol become more refined blended nicely with team of Chimay .Blended nicely, gut for long sipping trip. For Trappist long enough for those lonely nights, monk and Chimay...
