[ As Chimay Première Fermentée en Barriques: Chêne Francais, Chêne Américain - 03/2018 ].
ABV: 8.0%. Cloudy look, a medium to light amber colour with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, bread, caramel, oak, moderate to heavy yeasty, fruity yeast, barrel, wood. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average duration, vinous, oak, barrel, wood, caramel, fruity yeast. IMO: a bit messy! Body is medium to full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft, finish feel is warming and light alcoholic. [20230420]

Hazy amber colour, steady small white head. Wood, stuffy, some fruityness. Medium-bodied. Wood is quite present in the flavour, quite stuffy. Dissapointment.
