Item Notes:
Type: Belgian Strong Ale ABV (Alcohol by volume): 9.0% Country of origin: Belgium Introduced: 2007 Chimay Blue Grande Réserve, it is principally distinguished by its character of a strong beer. This is a beer whose fragrance of fresh yeast with a light, flowery rosy touch is especially pleasant. Its flavour, noticed when tasting it, only accentuates the pleasant sensations perceived in the aroma , while revealing a light but pleasant touch of roasted malt. This top fermented Trappist beer , refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.
Type: Belgian Strong Ale ABV: 7.0% Introduced: 1862 A Dark Belgian Strong Ale brewed by one of 6 only breweries in the world officially entitled to call themselves an "Authentic Trappiste Breweries". Since 1862 the Trappiste monks of the Chimay Abbey in have been brewing Chimay ale combining the artesian water of Chimay Abbey with the fine barley malt and aromatic blend of hops and Chimay's uniquely cultivated yeast. Top fermentation gives Chimay a distinctive fruitiness of flavour. Fresh yeast is added just prior to bottling resulting in a slight sediment which you can see. This secondary fermentation in the bottle adds to the ale's richness and body. The Trappiste fathers of Chimay use exclusively natural ingredients. This product has neither been pasteurized nor filtered. Serving suggestions: To fully appreciate Chimay's aroma and flavour, serve lightly chilled in a wide mouthed glass. Next time you're thinking "what light fruity wine will I have with this meal", for a pleasant surprise, try substituting a Chimay Red.
Type: Belgian Strong Ale ABV: 8.0% Introduced: Chimay White Cinq Cents, this beer with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast. The beer's flavour, as sensed in the mouth, comes from the smell of hops: above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. The aroma complements the touch of bitterness. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised. |
