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.

330ml bottle into a Chimay Trappist glass. A cloudy amber-tan beer with a medium sized off white head providing good lacing all the way down the glass. Generous aromas of cherries, oranges, caramel and gentle spicy hops. Quite sharp palate with fruity flavours (again a hint of cherries), brown sugars and alcoholic warmth. Finishes with a pleasant gentle spicy hop bitterness that lingers in the mouth. It is medium bodied with a smooth drinkability. A fine Dubbel that is now widely available Down Under thanks to Dan Murphys and First Choice liquor outlets.

Pours cloudy rich brown with a medium beige head, good lacing. Smells of apple, banana, pear, bread and hay. Medium-thick, velvety body. Tastes of tart apple, caramel, banana, with some hay aftertaste. Somewhat sour, but balanced. Very nice brew.

I really enjoyed this beer, especially the aroma and color. I enjoyed the initial taste, however the after taste was a bit strong for me.

From bottle on 05/11/09 Pours a dark amber with moderate creamy head. Fruity, spicey aroma. Wonderful taste and a very smooth beer that is excellent with dinner. Slight bitter finish and a great beer to enjoy a few of in an evening. First class in its category in my opinion - Cheers!

A very smooth beer. A very natural fruity taste to it and a creaminess you usually get from a stout. Top notch beer.

Bottle, 33cl. Pours an unclear red/amber colored beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is fruit and yeast. The flavor is fruit and just enough hops to create a balanced beer. The palate is soft and balanced. Overall this beer is easy drinkable.
