Chimay Grande Reserve BA 2016

The Grande Réserve barrel aged stands out from classic Grande Réserve thanks to the many nuances provided by the additional fermentation in wooden barrels.

COGNAC EDITION / MARCH 2016

On the eye, the beer boasts a deep brown robe with a bright glint. Its extremely fine and smooth foam also possesses a slight shade of cream. On the nose, notes of black tea, jasmine and wood are equally predominant. On the palate, the woodiness cloaks the bread crust, roasting, mocha and Cognac aromas as well as the empyreumatical notes. This edition boasts an excellent blend of the characters of Chimay Bleue and Cognac.

3 fermentation: tank, barrel, bottle. Aged in barrels for around 6 months.
