Chimay 150 is a refreshing beer, strong but refined, with a balanced flavor and floral scent, accompanied by aromas of dried fruits and spices. It has an ABV of 10%. Saaz and Hallertau Mittelfrüh, two hops known for their superior quality and finesse, are blended and a secret spice is added to produce this unique taste.
Chimay 150 is the result of the experience of generations of brewers who have succeeded one another for 150 years in Chimay's brewery. A limited edition (150,000 bottles) of Chimay 150 was brewed for the very first time for the brewery's 150th anniversary in 2021.
Due to the strong demand of the privileged few who had the opportunity to taste it, Chimay decided to add this exceptional

On tap at Max’s in Baltimore
Dark gold pour, bright white head
Heavy spice profile. Much hoppier than most similarly strong Belgian golden. Saaz is eminent. A bit of booze sweetness.
Flavor matches the aroma. Very nice up front, excellent hop profile, but the finish is a bit cloying.

From the stubby bottle in a snifter. This excellent Belgian pours a
orange marmalade color with a nice head of white foam that settles
to a fat ring, thin layer, and sports some nice light lacing. Nose of
breaded malts, coriander, candy sugars, and floral hop notes.
Flavors hit the mark with candy sugars, breaded malts, light
pear, floral hops, and coriander, Mouth feel is medium light,
smooth, medium light soft carbonation, and a sweet yet
moderately dry and balanced finish.
Overall, I personally like this one and would put it over
the red label which is very good.
Cheers

Golden colour with a large fluffy head.
Aroma: malt, bread, coriander, some floral notes, some toasted notes, hint of hops and citrus.
Taste: malt, bread, citrus, some floral notes, soft hops with a medium bitterness, coriander. Semi-sweet with some cream.
Round and full mouthfeel.

Poured into Chimay glass.
S - Banana, nail polish, soap and vanilla
T - Nail polish, sweet malt and vanilla up front, followed by clove, honey, alcohol and prescription drug bitterness. Cereal box and soapy bitterness? on the finish, if that even makes sense
Wow this tastes nothing like I remember it... I'm not picking up any processed meat notes I wrote in my previous review. Tastes like a cross between Delirium Tremens and Rochefort Triple Extra. At 10% it's too sweet for my tastes. I'm sure this has to do with my bottle not being the freshest and hop bitterness dying out but I'm hesitant to try another bottle, I'm sticking to white capsule from now on

Pours a cloudy golden color with plenty of yeast floaters. Big dense rocky white head that left some chunky lacing on the glass.
The aroma is of hay, lemon, bubblegum and big coriander. Bright.
Tons of coriander in the taste. Some lemon and hay. Light bready malt.
Well bodied with very fizzy carbonation. Sweet on the palate but finishes dry to balance.
A very coriander forward strong ale. Too much for my preference. If you like Witbiers this is up your alley.

I've had the other Chimay "colors", this one I feel is middle-of-the-pack...
It looked great out of the glass and smelled deliciously malty, but the rest of it was okay. Decent, crisp mouthfeel, with a taste that was hoppier than I expected (or even wanted for this style). Anyway, it's definitely solid, just not up to par with the other "colors" I have had...
