3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
UPDATED: JUN 12, 2010 Cloudy brown pour, medium soapy-creamyish head, slightly tanned.
Aroma of old beer, fruits, caramel, oak.
Dare I say somewhat thin flavour and mouthfeel, some spices.
Ok beer, but I’m not a fan.

Questa birra, di colore rosso ambrato e dalla schiuma compatta di media persistenza, all’olfatto sprigiona piacevoli e astringenti sentori di frutti di bosco. Buono il corpo, ha un gusto dolce, elegante nel suo complesso. il finale è bilanciato con note luppolate.

Exactly as advertised, one of the finest Belgian ales. Smooth, fruity, creamy, wonderful beer. I’m moving to Belgium.

Great freakin’ beer, almost as good as the Blue, no need to call out all flavor points, leave that to the wine putzes! Drink up!!

An excellent Belgian Strong, but not as good as the Chimay Blue. Aroma is malty and delicious... smells of doughy bread. Appearance is a crimson brown that is crystal clear with a nice head that leaves good lacing. Taste and palate is smooth and creamy, malty and delcious. Slightly bitter but mostly sweet through the finish that stays with you but is not overly long. A wonderful step in the direction of the Blue.

Bottle - Pours dark copper with an off white head. Smells yeasty with some light spice (cloves, nutmeg) and a nice, subtly sweet breadiness. The taste is lightly spiced bread, a touch of honey sweetness, and a dry, yeasty finish. Smooth, balanced, and wonderful, this is my favorite between Chimay White and Blue. I find the other two to be too bitter and sharp, but this is pure silk.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
one of my favorite belgians. pours rich brown with medium white head. aromas are roasted caramel malts, sugars, rich red fruits, leather. drinks with tons of light caramel malt and sweet sugar with a leather almost smokey note to it and nice banana and bread yeast. fantastic
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
75 cl bottle shared. Pours cloudy-red coloured with a big head. Some initial sharp bitter citrus flavour with a slight taste of caramel in the back ground. Over all the red does not meet the hype, it tastes good, but there are better Belgian Ales to be had.
