The "Première" barrel fermented is an exceptional beer that benefits from triple fermentation and extended maturing in barrels. Unfiltered, unpasteurised, this beer has an incomparable rounded, wooden flavour.

Fermented in French and American oak barrels.

Bottle 750ml. @ [ Petalax 🇫🇮 Virtual Tasting ] - fonefan & Brugmansia House. 🏡 💻👀

[ 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]

Bottled 750ml (Vasa Sessions)
Hazy amber colour, steady small white head. Wood, stuffy, some fruityness. Medium-bodied. Wood is quite present in the flavour, quite stuffy. Dissapointment.
