Chimay Grande Reserve (Blue)

This is pricey, but it's worth buying every once in a while. It's a Trappist ale, which in my experience are usually near perfect beers.
Its sweet and malty with a little bit of spicy hops. Nice deep cloudy red color. Very mellow aroma, like bread. Its hard to tell that its 9% alcohol because its VERY smooth. I find that it tastes best when its cool/lukewarm. It has a certain typical 'Belgian' flavor that may be due to the yeast, but I'm not sure.
If it didn't cost so much I'd buy it all the time. Absolutely excellent.
