Chimay Rouge (Red)

Like most said smoke/spice. Dark pour amber head. Lots going on. Flavors of raosted malt some charamel. noted some raisins/chocolate. Good brew.

Bottle, 33cl. Pours ruby brown with a beige head. Bitter touch to fruity aroma’s. Harmoniously balanced trapist.

tasting at GDBTF on 10/18/08. amber color with 1/4" white head. dark fruits and yeast in the aroma. spicy on the tip and through the finish. med body. soft on the sides... not bad, but my least favorite of Chimay.

From a 12 oz bottle. Deep brown/red with a bubbly white head. Fruity and smoky. Malty in its own right, not so much as the Blue, more of a smoky malt flavor. Great balance. One of the better dubbels out there (from the few I’ve had so far).

Dark reddish colour with small head.Aroma is malty and with note of apricot and plum.Flavor is fruity and with full body,is well balanced and nice,still the blue is better.

Bottle. Large off-white rocky diminishing head with spare lacing. Hazy, light cloudy amber/copper body. Heavy malt aroma of caramel, grain and nutty. Light hop and average yeast aroma. Nice aroma of cask wood, basement, brown sugar and vanilla. Medium/full body, oily texture, soft carbonation and bitter finish. The flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter. Fresh and fruity, nice beer

Large bottle, cork stamped 10/07. Pours ruddy amber with fluffy, high off-white head that snaps, crackles, pops. Aroma is fleeting metallic, ketchup and sour molasses. Bread dominates the flavor with brown sugar accompanied by notes of apricot, mineral and roses. Balanced body, slightly slick (1% milk). Effervescent bump of faint cherry and mineral with slightly dry finish.

Cloudy to the max, medium brown with a small tan blotchy head. Fades quickly. Aroma is yeast galore and fruit. Flavors of, again, yeast, peach, pear, apples. As it warms peppery spices show up that offers a nice addition. What a good beer!
