Bloody awesome beer. One of Belgium's finest widely available exports.

Quote from rec:
This Chimay pours exceptionally well. A tanned creamy head laces and lasts well into the drink. Upon first scent, alcohol and florals come through the strongest.
The aforementioned creamy head and modest carbonation adds to the remarkably soft mouthfeel which stands out as one of the best.
Strong malts come through and a destinctive taste of raisin are the first things I noticed, but its complexity continued to astound me with hints of chocolate and a range of delightful fruits. The aftertaste is spicy, sweet and warm.
There is a very mild alcohol harshness after warmth, but given the ABV this is expected. You could probably drink this all night, delighted with the flavour, but in reality it's definately a sipper and not a session beer.
Easily the best in the Chimay range, as widely accepted, and rightly so. A premium Belgian export, if ever there were one.

um in the scent I didn't notice any floral more of just a dark sweet smell even a light chocolate scent.
in the flavour OMG there was like honey, chocolate it was very sweet and made me come back for more. didnt notice any fruit flavours.
For anyone this beer is a must so wake up tomorrow dont pass go dont collect $200 just go to your nearest seller of fine beers and get one make sure you have your favorite beer glass to pour in and just take your time dont scull watch the birds listen to the wind look at the blue sky and the clouds move while you sip your beautiful beer.

It looks as though you served it cold, which is why much of the aroma and flavour was hidden.
It's a Belgian strong dark ale, which means serve it at cellar temperature. 12-14 degrees celcius is best, but definately no colder than about 10 degrees.
Have another at the serving temperature recommended for complex bottle-fermented dark ales, and you'll discover even more greatness.
PS. if you're a fan of this, dry the Gulden Draak, Trappistes Rochefort 10, St. Bernardus Prior 8 and Leffe Brune.

I almost prefer the red, which is a more of a typical dubbel/brune styling. All delicious. Although the tripel (white label) seems to lack a bit. The Westmalle Tripel is a far better brew of its kind.

I guess you only hear what you wanna here, tho in the last few weeks i have noticed that you have a little fantasy about Rec being gay, maybe you should get out more and not to Throb
