Chimay Grande Reserve Fermentée en Barriques Vintage 2019 750ml
Our Verdict
Vintage - 08/2019. Limited Release.
The "Grande Reserve" barrel fermented is an exceptional beer that benefits from triple fermentation and extended maturing in barrels. Unfiltered, unpasteurised, this beer has an incomparable rounded, wooden flavour.
Soft vanilla notes hit the nose first and unleash a wave of fruity and spicy aromas that blow the taster away. A sublime hint of orange gives the beer a pleasant citrus accent as the perfect match for the sweet caramel. There is also room for a floral undertone with camomile, crowned by a subtle touch of pomegranate and a dash of almond liqueur. A brilliant combination of delicious apricot and candied fruit with creamy mocha epitomises the full-bodied complexity of the beer. The aftertaste also packs a delicious punch, with an astounding spicy kick and a refreshing taste of green apple.
This balance between roundness and powerfulness is best appreciated between 6 months and 1 year after it is bottled. For this batch, a mixture of barrels has been used: 40% of French oak and 60% of American oak.
