Chimay Barrel Aged Grand Reserve 750ml
| Description: | 3 fermentation: tank, barrel, bottle. Aged in barrels for around 6 months. Type of Barrels. 38% of French oak second utilization. 22% of American oak second utilization. 22% of new cognac barrels. 18% of new chestnut. The barrel-aged Chimay Bleue of March 2016 stands out from classic Chimay Bleue thanks to the many nuances provided by the additional fermentation in wooden barrels. On the eye, the beer boasts a deep brown robe with a bright glint. Its extremely fine and smooth foam also possesses a slight shade of cream. On the nose, notes of black tea, jasmine and wood are equally predominant. On the palate, the woodiness cloaks the bread crust, roasting, mocha and Cognac aromas as well as the empyreumatical notes. This 2016 edition of barrel-aged Chimay Bleue boasts an excellent blend of the characters of Chimay Bleue and Cognac. This balance between roundness and powerfulness is best appreciated between 6 months and 1 year after it is bottled. Region Description. Ales are generally fruity, complex and full-bodied beers that are best when served at cool temperatures. |
