Chimay

I had some Chimay for the first time last night.
As a big fan of delicious cloudy wheat beers and with a pallet that despises Guinness I wasn’t sure what to expect from the deep brown slightly golden ale of Chimay.
My take on Chimay after a couple of sips…
“It’s like drinking a smoldering log from a fire on a winter evening.”
Yes, it was THAT delicious. I know that smouldering log isn’t the best way to describe something delicious and good, but it makes sense in this case.
After two glasses of Chimay (which has higher alcohol by volume than most beers) I was asked if I still thought it tasted like a smouldering log and I could barely remember having said anything about a log, fire or winter.
After two glasses my take on Chimay was…
“mmm, yeah, Chimay is flippin’ delicious!”
Thank you, Chimay, for a wonderful evening and from now on I promise not to be scared off by your giant bottle in the supermarket - I’ll buy ya!
that’s some tasty stuff!
You know why else Chimay is wonderful? It’s made by monks. I don’t know why the thought of a whole bunch of Friar Tucks spending their devotion-filled days brewing me yummy beer makes me happy, but it does.
