The most famous of the Trappist beers and best enjoyed in its distinctive Trappist chalice, this is without doubt a beer of great tradition. The Cistercian Trappist monks of Chimay have been brewing since 1862, with their abbey being located on the site of a well which provides pure water for the beer.
Bearing the mark of an Authentic Trappist Product, the Chimay Blue Strong Dark Ale is world-class Belgian elegance in a bottle. This authentic Belgian beer is complex, rich and powerful--all of which improve and transform over many years thanks to its classic bottle-conditioning.
Whilst obviously strong the alcohol is barely noticeable giving way, instead, to the beautiful aromas of spicy Belgian yeast, bread dough and toffee—the mark of great craftsmanship. Rich and intense with lovely caramel notes, it’s the lovely dry finish allows the distinct Belgian flavours to linger well into the next sip. Absolutely gorgeous.
