Ljunkan (380), Karlstad, Sweden Jan 3, 2009 (Old notes). A good belgian dubbel. Sweet, fruity, burnt sugar notes. I also found orange peel too. A good beer from Chimay. kidrobot (63), Sparta, New Jersey, USA Dec 30, 2008 Poured a dark muddy color. Tasted amazing, Delish. Nice bite and great carbination. Loved it. Thanks monks. serkoptato (32), Budapest, Hungary Dec 29, 2008 Jóféle trappista a belgiumi Scourmont melletti Notre Dame kolostorból. Igazi felsőerjesztésű sör, annak minden szépségével. Fáradt, barna színének opálosságát a palackban visszamaradt élesztő okozza, csakúgy, mint a búzasörök esetében. Palackozáskor még némi kis cukrot és élesztőt is adnak a sörhöz, ezért lezajlik az üvegben egy szekunder erjedés, aminek következménye a magas alkoholtartalom, és az egyébként meglehetősen száraz, decensen kesernyés, gyümölcsös íz. BeerIsMyGod (12), USA Dec 29, 2008 Bought this as part of a Chimay holiday 3-pack that came with a Chimay glass. Poured a deep caramel color with a dark, creamy head. It gave off a nice scent of fruit that was predominantly apricot. Drinking out of the accompanying glass left ribbons of yeast settling at the bottom, giving the beer a sweet finish. MaltOMeal (642), Land of Sugar, Texas, USA Dec 29, 2008 Updated: Sep 13, 2009330ml bottle. Pours a muddy, cloudy brown with a tan head. Nose is of raisins and some barnyard. taste is nicer than the smell with raisins and caramel most noticeable. Mouthfeel is medium-to-thin with tons of carbonation. Nice brew. Collint (452), Sylva, North Carolina, USA Dec 26, 2008 Bottle, pours a red beer with a huge foamy white head. aroma is sweet fruit, not rotten fruit though. Flavor is sweet and carbonated. Not as yeasty as I was expecting it to be. The body is very smooth and complex, yet balanced. I have not completly figured this one out, I will probobly drink this one again. Gary (352), Buckinghamshire, England Dec 26, 2008 Updated: Apr 7, 2009...l like the smoothness of Chimay red but the beer feels soulless . Customary werid Belgianness characters. Load of yeast booze and body but a bit hollow and I dunno why exactly. nathan30533 (138), Dahlonega, Georgia, USA Dec 25, 2008 Pours a burgandy color with a white forming head. Great aroma of apricot and fruits. Very pleasing to the mouth upon drink but finishes a little bubbly. Great dubbel, great brew. Thank you to the Monks of the Chimay team.
