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.

Bottle, 330 ml at Kulminator. 21 year old at the time. Very nice oak aroma, unfortunately too thin in body. Soft texture. Sweetish. Almost all of the fruit is gone.
