Mar 1, 2008 Beer poured copper colored with a big white head that slowly sank into a film covering the top of the glass. Aroma was fruity with some banana and arpicot, and some phenolic spice. Flavor is matly with fruity yeast esters, and some spiciness. palate is soft and full of small bubbles. A nice brew.

Feb 29, 2008 not as tasty or as easy on the mouth as the Blue, but comparable. Fruited tastes with dark colors. Fragrant.

Feb 27, 2008 Only had this one from the bottle. Leave lots of room for the ample head. You’ll find this one in lots of places that the other Chimay colors won’t show their faces. It is a good beer but better can be head for the dollar. Spring for th Blue Chimay (Grande Reserve) for a far superior brew and easier sging.

Feb 25, 2008 330 ml Bottle in namesake goblet: Pours a murky burgundy colour under a beige head that vanishes. Smells of plums, raisins, roasted malt and nuts. Flavours of brown sugar apple sauce and prunes accented by rum and spice. Dry-alcoholic end. A solid and complex Trappiste offering.

Feb 24, 2008 From 75cl bottle. Copper hazy body with a nice off-white head leaving a good lacing. Ripe banana, clove, bready nose with some hints of plum and apple. Sweet approach in mouth with lovely flavors of plum, vanilla, clove and wheat appearing in harmonious complexity. Silky consistency with a low carbonation gives a creamy texture to this brew which enhances well its flavors. Excellent beer, in the tradition of the brewer. Two thumbs up!

Feb 22, 2008 This is a really interesting beer to rate.
Poured somewhat cold into a Chimay glass. Bottle from Total Wine.
Poured cloudy red with a small beige head with copious lacing. Smell is of bananna and yeast. Note as complex as I’ve come to expect from an Abbey. The taste is incredible though with a truly awesome balance of light fruits, yeast, malt and a slight bitterness to the finish. This is how an Abbey Dubbel should be, take note Brasserie des Roc. This one is dangerously drinkable. Alchol is well hidden and the carbonation is very lively so its very easy going down.
