Chimay Rouge (Red)

Cloudy dark copper colour with a beige head. Not overly carbonated. Flavours of dark frut and slightly spicy. Well balanced. The alcohol content gives a pleasant warmth but is not overbearing. A lightly bitter and spicy finish. A very smooth and flavoursome beer but not quite as good as the blue.

...overall, a great all around beer, with a good dose of alcohol. Nice flavor, with fruity apricot notes, as well as a nice color in the glass. Very well balanced, and always a great beer, like most Trappist beers, they know how to do it.

Copper with a fluffy head. Fruity aroma of pineapple. The flavour is like a weak version of Chimay Bleu: toffee, yeast, caramel, plums and raisins. It has a somewhat weak mouthfeel, and lacks complexity. It’s not bad though.

Pours a mahogany colour with a beige head that lingers. Fruity aromas with notes of chocolate, caramel & spices. Palate is quite lively with a presence of fizziness, however the body is quite thin and not as complex as the other two Chimay’s. Still an enjoyable world-class dubbel.

Bottle. Hazy red brown. Palate is big and bubbly. It´s peppry and malty fresh. Aroma has burnt sugar. Flavor is malty, yesty, sweet and warming.

Nice bready and dark fruit aroma. I like the flavor of this one. Has notes of dark fruit, yeast, malt, and plenty of spice. Nice balance of sweetness and bitterness. Finishes crip. Overall, a pretty good abbey dubbel.

Pours an opaque coppery brown with medium sized, foamy head. Aroma of tart fruit. A little bite on the back of the tongue. Flavors of bread, yeast, spice and just a hint of fruit sweetness. For some reason, the alcohol doesn’t seem to blend well with the flavor and seems to leave a taste all its own. A good "intro" to Belgians, but not the finest example.
