Chimay Rouge (Red)

One of the best beers I’ve ever had. The aroma is slightly sweet and roast-y, with a creamy mouth feel. The taste is almost like eating dark chocolate and fruit at the same time. Chimay Rouge is further proof that the best traditional beers come from Belgium.

Again, used the Chimay glass for this one. Very nice smell, the trappist glasses really open up the aromas of these beers. Spicy and fruity. flavor is slightly malty, I probably should’ve let this warm up a bit more as it was pretty cold and the flavor was a bit on the short side. Still a nice beer.

big head on the poor, not enough lacing to speak of. beer is colored dark walnut. aroma is of a less potent belgian strong- spice, nuttiness, intiguing overall. reserved but delicious flavor of caramel, spice, hints of red wine and nutmeg as well. good mouthfeel, very very nice beer.

Hazy dark amber with lots of residual yeast. Aromas of caramel, yeast, and a bit of spice. Mellow and reserved. Extremely smooth mouthfeel, spicy notes, and excellent malt backbone. A tad thin on the palate, but excellent despite.

Pours a murky dark brown color with an amber tint to it. It is topped with a fizzy moderate sized head. Head tapers off a bit but a bunch of frothy lacing remains. There is a spicy fruitiness to the aroma but it’s faint. The flavor is malty with a sugary dark fruit flavor. Some spice mixed in. Pretty well balanced and smooth. I’d rank this third among Chimay beers behind the White and Blue but this is excellent.

Bottle. drank this while slightly congested. most noticeable feature was the great mouth feel. Drank it when it was rather warm, resulting in noticeable darker fruit flavors. Goes down warm and very easy. Great beer.

My favourite Chimay beer. Nice copper pour with a creamy slighlty tan head. A lot of fruit in the cent. Fruit continues in the flavour, some caramel, some spice. A slightly warming aftertaste. I am a huge fan of this it just tastes great and goes down easy leaving a nice warm aftertaste.

Small bottle, pours copper/brown with frothy off-white head. Head dissipates, doesn’t leave much lacing. Aroma lightly fruity and hoppy, with taste of smoke, caramel, light hops, and dark fruit. Initially lightly sweet and bitter, and a bit acidic. Nice beer, but not quite as good as Chimay Blue.
