Chimay Bleue (Blue)

Brewed by Chimay
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Baileux, Belgium

Aroma of sour apples, licorine and some vinegar. Appearance was ruined by a bad pour, but I have fortunately seen some good pours of this beer. Opaque, creamy head that dissipated over a few minutes time. Flavor had brown sugar, alcohol tinge, licorine, molasses and sour apples. Full bodied beer with a lively palate. A winner.

bottle, dark brown, with medium brownish head. very full thick almost sticky flavor and long finish. a bit too sweet for my taste, and not something one’d drink more than one of.

Pours a dark brown color with a tan 2 finger head that seems to last. Smells like a Belgian, Dark Sweet Malt, yeasty, bready aroma, dark fruits of some kind get a bit of alcohol as well. Taste is extremely flavorful! Get that sweet dark malt I was smelling. Seems like im getting different wonderful flavors on all parts of my tounge, front, sides, middle and back. Sweetness up front, getting some bitterness on the sides of my toungue, and then a little of the alcohol in the back of the mouth. Mouthfeel on this is out of this world. The only way to describe it is that it is Velvety smooth, starts soft on the tongue and I thoroughly expected it start to feel watery but it never did, smoothest beer I have had to date. Its and odd sensation actually - I know I took a drink of the beer, but then all of the sudden its not in my mouth anymore, its like it snuck its wasy over my tongue and down my throught without me know it, that is precisely how smooth this brew is, Vanishes from my mouth without me knowing it! Overall this really is a beer that lives up the hype. I had this beer for the first time tonight in honor of my wedding anniversary, and I think I might have just started a new tradition...

33 cl bottle. Small lasting head. Hazy brown color. Aroma: Alc, yeast, dark fruit, caramel, chocolate. Taste: A little bitterness, malt, caramel, some fruityness. Very complex. Very good on a cold winter night (even though it was the first day of spring yesterday)

Bottle, pours a hazy brown beer with a big beige head. aroma is sweet yeast and malt. Very sweet smooth flavor with a light hop and mostly balanced yeast. Very nice beer to sip hard
