5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
33cl. bottle from a local beer retailer. It pours a murky brown liquid with some amber tones (and some ruby as it evolves) and many little yeast spots, with a gigantic consistent and pillowy beige head (tainted brown by a nice yeast sediment) that lasts beautifully throughout the beer and leaves some good lacing. The aroma is mostly malty, with caramel, brown sugar, some hints of banana and a slight citrusy hoppiness. There is also a good deal of roastiness and bready yeasts. It tastes kind of likewise, but intenser and more complex, some dried fruits suddenly appearing as well as a faint brandy-like touch. A nice spiciness is also there. It is medium sweet, a little sour and has a pleasant notable bitterness. In the mouth it feels thick and mildly carbonated, with little bubbles coming alive inside the mouth, very slightly prickling the tongue. The body is medium, giving the brew more drinkability. It finishes rather dry and bitter, with a sweet caramelly and nutty finish along with some floral and citrusy hoppiness. The presentation is smart and very trappist-like. I love it; can’t help it. It might be somewhat overrated (not much, though), but the feelings towards some beers go beyond the metrics. A nice way to celebrate my 200 ratings.

Bière rousse brunâtre de 7 % d’alcool. Elle possède un goût simple, léger arrière goût. Elle possède un léger goût boisé et amer. Ce n’est pas un WOW !, mais elle est quand même bonne.

Chimay Red has a medium, beige head and a cloudy, rust-red appearance, with lots of carbonation. The aroma is of prunes and sharp spice. Taste is likewise of prunes, cinnamon spice, some banana, sweetness, and water. Some alcohol is picked up as well. Mouthfeel is medium, and Chimay Red finishes wet, refreshing, and delicious. This was actually more light-bodied and easy-drinking that I had suspected. Overall, this is a terrific beer, and I rate it outstanding. RJT.
