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.

33cl bottle. Pours a cloudy brown color with off-white head, chunkies, and lots of fizzy co2. Head retention is good. Aroma is belgian yeast/minerals and slight fruitiness. Taste is malty and fruity, raisin, apricot, caramel, and some spices. Finishes dry and sudsy with a nice lingering slight bitterness. Complex and well crafted.

Pours a dark brown with floating speckles and a small tan head. Aroma of fruit, malt, and yeast. Flavor of fruit and very smooth. There is a slight warmth due to the alcohol, but you can’t taste the alcohol at all. This goes down very easy and leaves a wonderful taste in the mouth. Strength of flavor was slightly disappointing, a little to mild for my liking.

One of the best beers available in Chile. Toasted malts, caramel, toffee, fruits, it’s all there. Every time I have one I discover something different.
