Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue)
Well, I didn't have a chalice, but I did the best I could. What a beer...first time I had it, it was totally lost on me, but now, 15 months later, I can see it as it is, as first-class beer. Corked bottle...Hazy reddish brown, massive, eager head. Taste is deep, dark, spicy, mouthfeel is round and full at the beginning and spicy and gravelly at the finish. Sweet sugar comes through in the nose and the aftertaste. Pretty easy to drink, classy, best beer I've had in a while.
