When I first poured this beer it had that look and smell of Chimay Blue, but when I had my first sip it took me straight back to Coopers Vintage. Really fruit cake and spice on the nose but a lean dry finish. Very elegant too, obviously made with the idea of having more than one at a time, unlike Chimay Blue which I find too heavy and gluggy.
I was wondering why I had never heard of these beers considering the brewery was started in 1890, so I did some research and Belgium has more than 130 breweries making some 600+ beers. No wonder that a few of them escape my notice.
If you can find it, enjoy

Chimay blue 'gluggy'.... you take that back!
but it is, a thicker style of beer...hence gluggy....not in a bad way
