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.

Poured a dark red / brown color with a large off white head. Aromas and flavours -plums / other fruits, possibly caramel. Slightly spicy with moderate sweetness. The high alcohol content wasn’t as noticeable as I was expecting it to be. Bottled in 2008.

750mL bottle. Little head, but great carbonation. Fruity and floral with a good carbonation bite. Sweet, but clean and dry. Good warming sensation at the end.

Bottle. Pours a nice dark brown with a nice, foamy tan head that slowly fades. Taste is of yeast, banana, fruit, malt, caramel and spice. Similara aroma. Well balanced. A nice, complex, enjoyable, drinakble brew that is worth picking up every now and then. On par with the Red and White and is hard to choose a favorite.

Bottle. Great beige color head that was quite rocky and long lasting, with a hazy brownish red body. Apply and brown sugar aroma with notes of yeast, raisins, and bready notes. Creamy mouthfeel and tastes of plums, caramel, and a hint of cherry with just a hint of alcohol in the finish. great beer.

Fruity aroma and taste. Shared a 1pt6oz bottle and determined apple was the predominant fruit flavor in our minds. Very sweet like you would expect but didn’t manage to have to heavy a mouth feel like some of the other belgian ales. Alcohol was well hidden.

Very amber pour.....sweet, fruity hints on the nose. Very sweet flavor....plums, raisins, caramel malts. A great beer to sip slightly below room temperature.
