Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue)
Chimay- Blue Appearance- Hazy reddish brown with a thick head that disappated quickly. Smell- light fruitiness and alcohol. Taste- immediatelt hit with a raisin/ prune fruitiness followed by a heavy dose of alcohol!! Mild malt tones finish the taste along with spices (pepper perhaps). Mouthfeel- Fruity but the 9% alcohol is just too high for me. Beer finishes off nicely with a good maltiness. Overall- A beer that has potential. The flavor is almost there and the alcohol is too high! If these 2 could be better regulated this would be phenominal!
