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.

Barwa miedziana, niemal klarowne, piana w kolorze jasnego beżu, średnio obfita, średnio trwała.

W aromacie ciemne słody, ciemne owoce, cukier kandyzowany.

W smaku półsłodkie, jest sporo nut słodowych i owocowych, lekka słodycz cukrowo-karmelowa, figi, rodzynki, nuty rumowe szlachetnego alkoholu.

Goryczka średnia, nieco alkoholowa, wysycenie wysokie, ciało w normie.

Dobre, aczkolwiek brakuje większej głębi

Bottle. Dark fruit aroma with notes of chocolate, caramel, toffee, banana, spicy Belgian yeast and Candi sugar. Pours dark brown colored with a large tan head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with dark fruit, caramel, toffee and spicy Belgian yeast flavors. Finishes smooth but a touch dry with chocolate, banana and Candi sugar flavors. Excellent.

Lootsin purtses vaadist saada, aga Taproom oli juba kinni.. Päris iselibisev kraam ikka, mõnusalt linnaseline, karamelline ja asjad.
