More information about Bleue
Belgian Christmas
In 1948, the monastery of Notre Dame de Scourmont decided to brew a very special Christmas beer: Bleue Alongside Brune and Tripel, Bleue is the third beer in the group and adds a festive specialty to the range of classic Belgian beers
Deep black with a ruby red shimmer, Chimay Bleue exudes a unique charm with a stately head even before tasting The strong Trappist beer exudes complex aromas of dark fruits, sweet caramel and mysterious spices The taste follows the olfactory first impression on the foot and delights with a wide range of full-bodied aromas Delicately balanced, soft caramel notes caress the palate, spicy yeast, a hint of vanilla and dried red berries caress the palate The lively carbonic acid gives the voluminous body an elegant lightness, a fine bitterness balances the heavy sweetness The Chimay Bleue 2014 Péres Trappistes is best enjoyed on a cozy evening in front of the fireplace with a strong Roquefort on a baguette roasted with a little garlic and olive oil
Our tip for real gourmets: We recommend storing Chimay Bleue in a cool cellar for three to five years, which enhances the subtle port wine character of this unique beer and takes the enjoyment to the next level
