Chimay Blue

I’ve done a hop heavy beer and a gose which is sort of a “non-traditional” beer so this week I wanted to do a traditional Trappist beer. This isn’t a beer I pick up often but I love the caramel and dark fruits. I really love the red tones of this beer, it’s dark but has a lot of subtle color. The head of Chimay Blue is made up of big bubbles which made for some fun color and painting.
