Chimay Rouge (Red)

Pours dark brown with a cm of creamy off white head. The aroma is sweet, and I detect notes of Belgian yeast, horse blanket, cheese, clove, dates, and a bit of pepper. The flavor is moderately sweet, mostly of malt, but has a presence of coriander and and finishes with a lactose like taste. The mouthfeel is nice and creamy. This is one of my favorites.

750ml shared with Pyroziod and French Tickler. Red brown and hazy with an offwight creamy head. Aroma: rasberry, banana, cinnamon. Flavor: alcohol, light taste of pepper, salt raisins grapes and plum. Palate: medium body, average carbonation.

Bouteille de 750 ml Dégusté avec french tickler et Agaguk. Bière de couleur brune brumeuse avec un moyen collet tres collant. Arome de sucre, tres fruité, bananes et un soupçon de vanille. Gout de sucre brun, vanille et bananes qui revient.

Clovey raisin spice, some fresh dough. Cloudy deep amber, big head with nice lacing. Orange peel seared in honey sweetness/bitterness flavor, funky bitterness. Medium to full body, creamy big carbonation, strong and long finish. Solid beer, great complexity, just enough alcohol to keep it approachable.

Some dark foggy yeast and faint raspberry. The bottle gushed a bit upon opening, though did not have an overactive amount of head in the glass. The head was weak in body and fell quickly. The body is a picturesque amber, nicely dense with sedimentary goodness. soft gentle ripe plum and blackberry notes, rounded out nicely. Light on the palate. more dark fruits, i’m getting the apricot now, finish is pretty abrupt after all that sweetness. Some leather too.

Bottle at home. Another fantastic beer. Chimay is really excellent for such a commonly available beer. Foamy head and very nice aroma. Prefer the white, by a hair.

Bottle. I think I got an old bottle because there were some floaties and sediment that were suspended after the pour. Other than that, this was damn tasty. Nose is malty and gives off some nice light fruity accents. Flavor is very smooth and malty with flavors of some dark fruits, maybe a little molasses flavor, and low bitterness.

Sweet aroma like maple syrup, strong alcohol. Some yeast and fruits like apple and plum. Boysenberry in the flavour along with a pepper spice, yeast and alcohol. Very nice.
