Commercial Description:
Bottle Conditioned.
Ingredients: Pilsner malt (French barley from Champagne) & caramalt; German Hallertaur & American Galena hops. Yeast & sugar added to the bottled beer.
Chimay Rouge (Red) is noted for its coppery colour which makes it particularly attractive. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance. Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

A very smooth tasting beer. the colour is bright red and very wonderful aroma. Rich, creamy and somewhat malty, has a prevalent yeasty and bread like taste. A full mouthfeel all the way through. A lot of lively fruit that continue to burst in your mouth all the way through the beer. Always an old reliable. :)

[330ml bottle from Tesco’s, Reading] My first Trappist beer so I was quite excited! Smell and initial taste very malty. Smooth and dangerously drinkable for such a strong beer. Mellows into a deep fruity aftertaste with almost no bitterness. Not bad, but not quite as outstanding as I’d been led to believe a Trappist beer could be - I’ve certainly had British beers I prefer. Will definitely try more of the style though.

Reddish amber coloured beer with off-white head. Herby butterish aroma. Sweet creamy palate. Ending is herby and bit fruity.

Pours a perfectly cloudy dark brown, with a nice light head. A great looking beer. Aroma is mainly of fruit, and typical of the Dubbel style. Taste is similar, but with a bit of yeast to complement the sweet peachy flavor. Palate is a bit fizzy yet slick, especially at warmer temperatures. Overall a VERY good Dubbel.
