Beer Advocate: The Chimay Blue is a dark ale with a powerful aroma. Its complex flavor improves with passing time.
Tasting notes
(2311) Alex and I shared a bottle during Lisa's birthday dinner. I think that it was bottled around February 10, 2022 and has aged 1.75 years: the label reads L22-040. I did not enjoy the beer as much as I remember. It did not WOW me. I am downgrading the rating to 5 glasses.
(1106) A bottle w/ about 6-8 months on it. A delight.
(1101) Complex and difficult to describe. Not sweet as I was expecting. Musty apples, a dash of cinnamon, and a light hop bite. Complexity may merit 6 glasses.
(0911) A bottle in NYC. Brown sugar, apple butter, and light hops.
(0701) A delight. Brown sugar, spiced slightly sour oranges, and light hops. Winelike. Upgraded from 2/8.
(????) Had a 12 oz. bottle. Looked for something else after the bottle was empty.May be worth another try.
Rating: 5 glasses
Previous ratings: 2, 5, then 6 glasses
