NotAlcoholicJustAHobby –
Deep caramel-brown with a large mousse-like head. Yeast, caramel and candi-sugar aromas lead into darker bread flavours, restrained sweetness and a gentle warming finish.
BBD Review Summary –
A softer Chimay expression with toffee, bread crust and subtle fruit, finishing with restrained sweetness and lively carbonation.
Belgian Beer Review Summary –
A classic dubbel-style profile: dark bread, caramelised malt, gentle fruit and enough carbonation to keep it fresh.
BBD Tasting Summary –
Toffee and bread-like malt lead the flavour, backed by subtle dried fruit and traditional Belgian fermentation character.
Belgian Beer Direct Editorial –
Less imposing than Chimay Blue but still full of character, with a smooth malt profile and a clean, warming finish.
BBD Review Summary –
A well-balanced dark Belgian ale with enough sweetness for richness but enough dryness to remain very drinkable.
Belgian Beer Review Summary –
Caramel malt, dark bread and soft red-fruit notes make this rounded and approachable, with a gentle Belgian yeast character.
BBD Tasting Summary –
The palate moves from toasted malt and caramel into fruit and yeast, with a smooth, lightly warming finish.
Belgian Beer Direct Editorial –
Rounded and easy to settle into, with malt sweetness, soft fruit and a pleasantly dry edge at the end.
Wallonia Beer Notes –
What stands out here is how fruit-forward without losing the underlying beer character. This would work particularly well with cheese, charcuterie or a substantial main course.
Cellar Notes –
Juicy on the nose but more structured and refreshing on the palate. The balance is the key point here; nothing feels too forced. Well suited to sharing from the larger bottle formats.
Brouwerij Notes –
A very enjoyable bottle: lively and aromatic, with the fruit adding freshness rather than simple sweetness. It has enough individuality to make it worth seeking out again. The finish becomes more interesting as the beer warms slightly.
Style Notes –
What stands out here is how a good choice for anyone who likes Belgian fruit beers with some bite and depth. I would serve it in the correct Belgian glass and give it a few minutes to open up.
Trappist Style Notes –
A good choice for anyone who likes belgian fruit beers with some bite and depth. The balance is the key point here; nothing feels too forced. One for a proper glass rather than drinking straight from the bottle.
