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.

bottle, pours deep hazy mahogany, tall off white head. Strawberry, orange, and yeasty aroma. Moderate carbonation, kicks in after the initial sweet malt and fruit flavors and ends mellowed with a faint amount of spice. Very drinkable and easy to love.

33cl bottle (brewed 2007). Pours a nice copper color with decent head that fades, but leaves nice lacing throughout. Some floaties were noted. Aroma is of malt, brown sugar, and raisin/prune. Taste is pretty much the same, dark fruit, nice esters, very smooth, nice prickly co2 on the tongue. Finish is dry with pretty low hops bitterness. This is a great one.

In my opinion, Abbey Double’s do not get any better than this. Hint of sweet fruits, cherry and banana. Silky smooth with no alcohol coming through whatsoever. The best from Chimay.

Huge aroma of dark fruity as soon as I pour. Nice reddish hue with lively white head. Not long lasting and mo real lacing. A touch of sour on the nose as I embelish a little more. Flavor is definitley fruity esters and a cherry finish. Some note of belgian yeastiness. Lots of bubbles throughout, I can reinvigorate head with little movement. Nice easy finish. Not chewy at all, a little lighter in body than I was anticipating. But all goes nicely together.
