Chimay Grande Réserve (Blue)
A: Poured into my Chimay glass, a red ruby/copper with a moderate light tan head, that with further sipping, left lots of lacing. S: Belgian yeast, and dark fruits including raisins and possibly cherries. Subtle, yet sweet malt also invades the senses. T: Haven't had this in quite some time, now I know what I was missing. A truly decadent beer with great complexity and character. Smooth and robust with the taste of dark fruits and candy sugar that also includes the traditional Belgian yeast strain. Moderate malt finish that leaves one wanting another sip. M: Smooth and rich, with solid carbonation. The pinnacle of a Belgian strong dark ale. D: An indulgent sipping brew that almost anyone can enjoy. Wine drinkers would appreciate this as much as their vino, while any open minded beer drinker would certainly find something to appreciate with this brew.
