Commercial Description:
Chimay Bleu is principally distinguished by its character of a strong beer. This is a beer whose fragrance of fresh yeast with a light, flowery rosy touch is especially pleasant. Its flavour, noticed when tasting it, only accentuates the pleasant sensations perceived in the aroma , while revealing a light but pleasant touch of roasted malt. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Bottle 33. Brow dark colour with a nice head. Nice malt flavour, complex and sweet body, yeast has a nice fruit aroma which is very present. All aroma are smelling better once the beer is going heater. Greate trappist beer ever.

Pours a dense, opaque, dark brown with a beige head. Quite a lot of silt dwelling in here. Warm aroma of raisins, peach, green apple roasted malt, and a lot of yeast. Flavor is dark fruit and yeast, with plenty of sweet malt and spices. Alcohol warming on the finish. Yummers.

Deep nut brown, mahogany color with fully lacing tan head. Complex fruity aroma with dominating plums, and alcoholic dried fruits. Mild sweet raisins, plums with slight sugar candy and gingerbread edge. Medium spicy finish with some herbals and coriander. Very smooth and delicate with well hidden alcohol, but far away from Rochefort.

Aroma is dominated by bread and yeast. Color is a medium brown with a thin white head. Taste is caramel, plums, raisins. No bitterness at all, with only a slight trace of alcohol. Could use a little more body and less carbonation. Another Belgian beer I don’t like.

Deep, dark and rich. Liquid fruit cake, possibly....... My bottle was a bit unsettled, despite 3 weeks sat in a cool garage, didn’t spoil the enjoyment though. A beer that commands respect and is impossible to do more than sip; the explosion of richness and strength on the tongue and back of the mouth makes sure of that.......

Nothing to say that hasn’t been said. Aroma of raisins and yeast. Flavor is bold and clear. Smooth for 9%. Definitely a pleaser.

Hazy ruby brown pour into a THICK foamy off white head that dissipates into sticky lacing which quickly melts down the glass. Aroma of roasted malt, flowery hops and yeasty biscuits. Initial flavor of dark fruit with a spicy hoppy finish.

11.2 oz bottle. Deep cloudy brown with a nice tan head that does not fade away. Fruity aroma, but the taste is not overly sweet/fruity like some Belgians I’ve tried. Smooth ale, very enjoyable. Will have to get the big bottle next time.
