750ml bottle. Aroma is fruity, specially cherry. Appearance is dark amber with a very small white head. Taste is fruity, light sour and light bitter. A very nice mouthfeel with a soft carbonation. Overall a great Trappist beer.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cloudy murky reddish brown (lots of floaties), nice creamy off white head settles and lasts. Fruity, caramel malty, Belgian yeasty aroma. Not too cloying Belgian yeasty taste, caramel and toffee malts, sweet dark fruit, lightly spiced. Lively carbonation, medium body, lightly hopped. Mild bitter alcohol finish. Lovely.

I feel like the Chimay Red is the step child of the Chimay family. Not nearly as popular as the Blue or even the White. It often gets neglected. It’s so easy to find the Chimay beers, we often take them for granted. The red is such a solid beer. Perhaps the best Abbey Dubbel that I have ever had. Notes of dates, roasted almonds, pecans, and general nuttiness. Easy to drink. Smooth. Alcohol flavor is non existant. Great beer.
4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
Not as rich as the blue but a diverse taste that flows down well and leaves a nice subtle fruit aftertaste.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
From BA: October 2007: This review is of a bottle bought in September 2007 and best before 2011, it is being drunk on my ’Night of the Chimay’ as I have all three beers and some cheese from the Abbey all purchased in Middelkerke on the Belgian coast during a resent visit.
Was it the cheese? Or was it the other Chimay beers lined up next to it, this beer was a lot better than the first review in all aspects.
It seemed richer and fuller, it looked happier too. Its aroma was wholesum and more fruity, the flavours stood out more and the overall enjoyment was a whole lot greater.
I am now really looking forward to trying the beer i have set aside for later
