Chimay pours with a fizzy head. The color is a deep cloudy brown. The aroma is great. Lots of sweet malt, plums, and raisins. The taste is equally delicious. Fruit sweetness upfront. Definitely more plums and raisins. A bit of port (which apparently improves with age). It then blooms at the back of the throat with warming alcohol (9%).
Out of the three Chimay types, this is definitely my favorite. A world class dark ale from the monks in Belgian.
