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.

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.

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.

330ml 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.

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.

...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.

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.
