I scored a Chimay Première (red label) on the way home from work and now I'm waiting for it to get around the right drinking temperature; another 45 minutes oughta do it. On their website, Chimay recommends "cellar temperature" - 50 to 53.6°F - for the Red and Blue, and 42.8 to 46.4°F for the Tripel. I don't have an official Chimay thermometer so I'm just winging it Laughing

Phanto, let us know how your Chimay session turns out!

Anyone see this story?

^^^Just read your post. I'd heard of something like this a few months back, only what I think it was, was they wanted to ban things like Sparks - energy drinks with alcohol (like that's gonna make a difference in drunk driving incidents?). To ban beer which has caffeine-containing ingredients...

Just another example of what happens in an election year to try and suck up to specific demographic groups in the search for votes. Rolling Eyes

Well, I broke with my Friday tradition of picking up a bottle of Chimay on the way home from work and finally scored a 4 pack of Young's Double Chocolate Stout instead, after hearing all the guys on the forum here raving about it. I can sum up my experience with it like this: It was almost as good as sex Laughing

It was smooth as silk and the chocolate undertones were just right; not overpowering. Nice creamy head like a Guinness. The alcohol is only around 5.5% (I think), which is perfect for this kind of beer. Too strong an alcohol taste would overwhelm the chocolate, I think.

Gotta give this one two thumbs up, no question. Wifey didn't like it, however, which leaves more for me. Laughing

Yeah, the cans with the widget inside. Normally I'm a bottle guy, but I didn't see it in bottles at Trader Joe's. Have to hunt some bottles down somewhere...

Bevmo might have the bottles...depending how far you are from the closest Bevmo it might be worth the trek.
