Jul 15, 2008 Pours a murky orange/brown with a lovely creamy off-white fluff on top. Sweet doughy malt aroma, yeasty, some apples and pears. First taste is very light, some bitterness, very light nuttiness, dry.... really quite uninteresting. Vacant mouthful... a bit watery. I fail to believe this tasted like this 4 or 5 years ago...

Jul 14, 2008 Very characteristic of a dubbel. Golden/red color. Slight caramel and light fruit flavor. Subtle hoppy finish and bubbly on the tongue. Rather heavy for a dubbel, but still great.

Jul 13, 2008 11.2 oz bottle from Whole Foods Market in Durham, NC. Reddish tinged brown color, hazy, with a thin layer of head on the surface of the beer. Bready and slightly fruity aroma with brown sugar notes. Taste is an earthy maltiness with brown sugar notes. Thin to medium bodied.

Jul 13, 2008 11.2 ounce bottle- poured out red-gold and cloudy with a firm off-white head. Aroma wasn’t much of anything except yeast. There was a good 1/4 inch of sediment in the bottle. Rolled it twice then poured. Taste wasn’t very exciting, maybe some light fruitiness and yeast, pleasant bitter finish. Not bad, but for the price I will stick with the Chimay Blue.

Jul 12, 2008 Pours amber with nice frothy head. Nice fruity flavor with a bitter finish. Refreshing and would enjoy again, although would probably not actively seek one out.

Jul 11, 2008 Bottle. Pours a lively reddish brown, sedimented and well carbonated. Off white head that is nice and firm, fading to a light skim on the top. Nose is very light of fruit, some faint hops and a bit metallic. Taste is very nice, almost in 2 separate parts - a sweetness followed by a light bitter, with some coffee in there. Light finish. Very refreshing.

Jul 10, 2008 At Cafe Bar Le Duc ’s Hertogenbosch (NL). A hazy red/brown colored beer, with a medium beige head. The aroma is light caramel and malty. also a little fruit. The taste is bitter/sweet, caramel. A little of serveral taste like toffee, coffee and dark fruits. The aftertaste is nice and soft.

Jul 10, 2008 Chimay Rouge pours a sedimented, dark amber with a fluffy, off white head. Rouge carries a fruity yeast aroma with some hints of the malt. Flavors include a spicy malt, a berry-like fruitiness, and a nice bitter finish.
