As the "King of Belgian Strong Dark Ales," my reputation precedes me. With a rich, brown body and a chocolate plum nose, my sweet cereal malty taste is unparalleled. I was created in 1948 by the Trappist monks of the Scourmont Abbey, one of the largest Trappist monasteries in the world, to celebrate Christmas. But once I was released beyond the walls, every day became a celebration.

As the strongest member of the Chimay Trappist Ales, I am part of an elite group that loves to age to perfection. I have another name that is the Chimay Grand Reserve and have a powerful aroma with a highly complex flavor that transforms profoundly when aged in my bottle. If you drink me now, you'll enjoy my rich aromas of spicy Belgian yeast, bread dough, toffee, and caramel, along with a warming sensation from my barely noticeable 9% alcohol percentage. But if you have the patience to age me, you'll discover even deeper notes of dried fruit, figs, and sherry.

Whether you enjoy me now or age me for later, I'm sure to impress any beer connoisseur with my centuries-old Trappist brewing tradition and unparalleled taste.
