Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

Finally one of the Chimay familly! Got this one at a local market, was surprised to see it there lying in the shelf. Pours a very pretty copper-brown, with a beige foam. Goes for some fruit in the aroma, with strong malt character, along with spicy. Some honey to it as well. Fruity flavor, with spice notes, malt and also some wheat esters evidents,
Bottle. Pours cloudy brown with a fizzy beige head. Aroma is like peeled apple skin, with hints of caramel and spice. Medium body. Flavor has a general fruit sweetness, as well as a light spicy note. Nice.
Appearance: Dark redish brown. Little head. Aroma: Malty, hint of blackcurrant. Taste: Malty, fresh. Info: 330ml bottle, 20/3-2006, 92/300
