Blå Chimpanse

Tap to rate

Belgian yeast gives this dark chestnut-brown ale a winey sweetness and a hint of dried fruit; it opens with a fruity aroma and a distinctly sweet malt character. Figs, dates and chocolate appear as delicate nuances. The taste is round, the malt body full and the sweetness discreet, which keeps the whole beer well balanced. Brewed in Brøndby with organic malt, hops and yeast.

◐ Taste

The palate is round and full-bodied, with sweet malt at the core that remains discreet and never cloying. Chocolate and dried fruit notes carry through mid-palate, balanced by subtle spice and a gentle dryness that prevents the sweetness from overwhelming the finish.
