The Chimay Blue is a dark ale with a powerful aroma. Its complex flavor improves with passing time. The 75-centiliter version (since 1982) is called ''Grande Réserve'' because of its great storage potential., It was first brewed as a Christmas beer by the monks of Scourmont Abbey in 1956. But after its great success, it was decided to offer it permanently.

330ml bottle (2014) aged in my cellar. Pours a hazed dark brown, medium off-white head. Slightly oxidised which masks the development of flavours somewhat, but not too off-putting, very smooth, mellow caramelised toffee. Pleasant sipper.
