The beer pours a dark brown, with a light tan color for the head. The smell is of figs, prune, and raisins. At 9% abv you can faintly smell the alcohol but it is not overpowering. The taste is delicious, if you hold the beer on your palate...the sweet carmel flavors, and spices are really present. This is a very well crafted beer one you can sip all night.

TOP 25 BEERS 2017 #5 - A new release from the classic Trappist brewery, this is the classic Grand Reserve, or Blue, Chimay, with 22% aged in former rum barrels. It’s loaded with dense, woody aromas and flavors, expressed in waves of fruit cake, vanilla bean and toasted oak that lay atop the rich core of fresh caramel, brown sugar, toasted bread, rum baba and booze-soaked raisins and berries. It’s round and creamy, with a mouthfilling palate and a pleasant warmth that unfolds on the long, spicy finish. Manneken--Brussel Imports.
