Raisiny, sweetish and slightly syrupy with some oak, figs, prunes, yeastiness and toffee.

Doesn't remind me too much of the regular blue label Chimay. Aromas are lots of raisins, plums, dates with some toffee. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, slightly more tart than sweet. A hint of oak, maybe whiskey. Stereotypical Belgian yeast flavor in the back. Medium body with fine carbonation. Alcohol shows up at the very end. Nice beer but not as good as expected.

Dark reddish brown, small layer of dense tan head. Smell is huge raisin, dried plums, wood, brown sugar. Quite high carbed, but soft, light body. Taste is complex and balanced. Dried fruits, little bit of brown sugar, wood, soft bitter. Barrels add nuance

Pours dark brown, big white head. Smell is sweet, sugar. Taste is sharp, bit booze, sugar, mild wood. No real whiskey. Some extra sweetness.
