Chimay Barrel Fermented Grande Reserve 375ML

Since 2015, Chimay has been honoring an ancestral method; proceed to a second fermentation of the Chimay Blue in wooden barrels. This method provides exceptional flavors and a complex taste that varies according to the type of barrel used. This beer also goes through a third fermentation in the bottle.

The Grande Réserve barrel-fermented edition 2026 has been matured in casks that previously held Willet Pot Still Reserve Bourbon, resulting in a powerful and flavourful beer with an intriguing complexity. Its aromatic palette opens with intense notes of oak and vanilla, supported by warm hints of caramel. Subtle spicy, blackberry and date fragrances lend it depth and elegance. A powerful taste then enhances this rich bouquet. The woody character comes into its own, perfectly balanced with the sweet flavours of caramel and vanilla. The alcohol delicately warms the whole. A gentle bitterness and a few smoky notes bring liveliness and balance. The finish is warm and creamy, slightly bitter and fruity.
