Chimay brewery

The Chimay Brewery ("Bières de Chimay") is a Belgian brewery founded inside the abbey Notre-Dame de Scourmont, in the Belgian municipality of Chimay in 1863. The brewery produces three widely distributed strong pale ales and one medium strength pale ale ; they are all known as Trappist beers because they are made in a Trappist monastery. The brewing plant was updated in 1988, and now produces 120,000 hectolitres annually annually. Since 1876 the monastery has also made cheese, and currently offers four cheeses.

Chimay 500 8° -3/4L- 25.3fl.oz

Larger picture 

Chimay is an authentic Trappist Ale. Named Cinq Cents in 75 cl (25.4 fl.oz.) bottles, this beer with its typical golden colour, its slightly hazy appearance and its fine head is especially characterised by its aroma which results from an agreeable combination of fresh hops and yeast. Above all it is the fruity notes of muscat and raisins that give this beer a particularly attractive aroma. There is no acidity, but an after-bitterness which melts in the mouth. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Chimay Blanche 8° -1/3L - 11.6fl.oz

Larger picture 
Known as "Cinq Cents" in 75 cl (1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz.) bottles, is typified by its golden colour, its often cloudy appearance and its excellent head. It is particularly characterised by its scent, which comes from a pleasant combination of fresh hops and yeast. The aroma of the beer, perceived in the mouth, comes from the perfumes of the hops: these are mainly the hints of the "muscat" and "dry grapes" which give this beer its particularly attractive characteristic aroma. This aroma exploits the hint of bitterness. There is no actual harshness, but a great aftertaste of bitterness which remains in the mouth.

Known as "Grande Réserve" in 75 cl (1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz.) bottles, is above all distinguished by its very character of a strong beer. This is a beer whose scent of fresh yeast, combined with a slightly rosaceous flowery touch, is particularly pleasing. Its aroma, perceived on tasting, only serves to heighten the pleasant sensations in the scent, while revealing a light but enjoyable touch of caramel

Chimay Rouge 7° - 1/3L - 11.6fl.oz

Known as "Première" in 75 cl (1 pt. 9.4 fl. oz.) bottles, has a distinctive copper-brown colour, making it particularly attractive. Topped by a creamy head, it has a slightly fruity apricot-like scent which comes from the fermentation. The aroma perceived in the mouth is a balance that underlines the fruity nuances of its "nose". Its taste, which has a silky sensation on the tongue, is made refreshing by a hint of bitterness. On the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant sharpness which discerningly completes the taste qualities of this beer
