Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue)
Poured from the 75cl bottle into a snifter. Look- Amber, when light hits it, overall very hazy and dark. Small amount of white lace circling the top. Smell- mostly yeast and malt, somewhat fruity, however it is complimented more by its taste. Smells somewhat strong, the alcohol does not hide. Taste- The taste offers a lot of grain and malt, with a nice kick of fruitiness that really hits the taste-buds, defiantly a nice sipper. Slightly bitter, not hoppy at all, very smooth. Very complete in taste, the alcohol is disguised well, behind the fruity after taste. Mouth-feel- Offers a carbonated feeling to an extent, but it flows well and tastes even better. Overall- Its hard to stop at one glass, the 75cl bottle offers more than that, so I couldn't see anyone stopping at one. Behind the smooth taste, and slightly carbonated flow, its easy to throw back a few of these and forget about the 9.0 alc which is greatly disguised with the smooth and rich taste. I would highly recommend picking up a bottle.
