This copper-brown Trappist Belgian Strong Dark Ale (ABV 9%) has a creamy head and a fragrance of fresh yeast and roasted malt. Considered to be the "classic" Chimay ale, it exhibits a considerable depth of fruity, peppery character (including hints of plum, raisin and nutmeg). Top fermented and refermented in the bottle, Chimay Blue (Grande Reserve) can be aged for upwards of fifteen years.
