beer_name: Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue)
text: Paid $7.99 for a 22 oz. bottle I think? "11/02" printed on the cork. Good looking dark brown, which I didn't expect. Foamy head that vanishes and doesn't come back. Smells fruity, yeasty and of alcohol. Good malt and hop presence in the aroma too. Taste is good. Alcohol soaked fruit, a hint of licorice, candied something. There's a little bit of an astringent taste in there though. Mouthfeel is pretty standard, a rush of foam then clear bubbly beer. Drinkability - not worth the price, but a good brew. Would buy more if it were half the cost.
