Xman suggested that I might be ready for a "real" beer from the Trappist Monks called Chimay Blue Dark Ale. He poured me a glass, and asked me what I thought. I sipped and like the deep taste with herbal tones. Then I looked at it - swirling, muddy brown with silt like texture! Whooo - now what have we here! The label called it unpasteurized and unfiltered, made with the same recipe since 1862 in the Trappist Abbey in Belgium from an age old technique. Looked old too! It was suggested that it be served chilled in a wide mouth glass. Yes, and you might want to hold it up to the light to see what is swimming in it!
After all is said and done, it was very good, in a textured way. When you see it, you might feel like pounding your chest (watch it, girls!) for even trying something that awesome and authentic!
Well, they told me this beer tasting might lead me to adventures - here I am! Okay, guys (all you he-men!), now I want to hear from you all out there who have really tasted this beer too!
