Chimay Rouge (Red)

I found this beer to be quite straightforward, honestly, I was expecting more. While trappist beers are never bad, I found this one to be the least interesting of the ones I’ve tried so far. It was smooth but quite simple in flavour for me. 750ml bottle.

.33l bottle. Rouge color with a creamy white head. Very nice smell of malt and raisins. Average lacing. Taste is of sweet raisins and cream, wood, and berries. What a loveable beer that can be savored over and over.

Silky. Crispy red color, very transparent for it class. Nice fine foam. Excellent.

Bottle. Nice firm white head. Good malty aroma. I was expecting more fruitiness. Perhaps I should let it warm up. Copper color is faded by the yeast sediment I poured into the glass. A very nice Belgian Dubbel.

Delicious. Strong and sweet and flavorful. Worth its reputation. I’m a big fan of this. Very good beer.

Aroma - sweet malt, Carmel, plums. Appearance - Dark orange with fluffy head and sediment floating all over. Flavor - sweet malt, a little dark fruit, nuts, a little hops. Palate - medium body, creamy, lively, lightly astringent finish. Overall - This is a great beer. Very drinkable and it possesses great flavor and balance.

33cl bottle. Pours an average, frothy, off-white head. Has a muddy, burnt red body with generous yeast particulate. Heavy malt aroma of caramel, plum, cherry and some grape. Fairly abundant yeast phenol presence - nice spiciness. A little fruitiness from the esters. Medium body balanced by lively carbonation and a light hop bitterness. Candi sugar dry finish keeps the caramel malts in check. Pleasant, warming alcohol lingers. Surprisingly easy drinking and tasty, though not quite as interesting as I had hoped.

Bottle 33 cl. Apperance; Dark orange, hazy with a big orange head. Aroma; Fruity, sweet malt, citrus and a sence of strawberries. Flavor; sweet malt and some hops, a nice light bitter ending. Chimay bleue is offcourse the favourite
