Chimay Rouge (Red)

33cl. Nice colour, medium carbonation. Smells typical but tastes rather flat for a abbey dubbel. Not to compare with westmalle dubbel for sure.

Botella. Comprada en supermercado. No tan buena como esperaba, pero muy buena igual.

Brownish red colored beer with nice bubbly/creamy head. Very nice balanced sweet aroma of hops, malts and yeast. One doesn’t overwhelm the others. I can tell the carbonation is high which is a signature of Chimay. Head dissipates rather quickly. Very smooth, medium bodied beer with floral hints and light touch of bitterness. Very good overall...better than I thought it would be.

Cork popped on its own, and lost some fizz in my unpreparedness. This beer is totally enjoyable, but it was the last of every U.S.-available trappist that I tried, so of course I had haunting memories of Rochefort 10 and 8, Westmalle and Orval. I would certainly prefer those.

Misty brown,weak head,good carbon.Aroma,malt,nuttiness,vanilla,wheat grainy.Flavour bright citrus,tangy,grain,sweet sure it,s wheat,very pleasant.Finish bitter sweet,makes you want more,citric swet finish a lovely ale.

Brun øl. Dufen er sødlig. Smagen er tng, kraftig maltet og sød. Alcohol er tydelig. Noget sødere end den blå og ikke nær så god. Men absolut en bedre tung øl.

Thin fizzy head which disappears quickly, Nice reddish colour but cloudy. Aroma is very subtle peach with a pleasant yeasty tone. Flavour is slightly sweet and malty but quite subdued. It is very fizzy and light.

33 cl.with a "LAK 345 J-9" bottling code; bottled sometime in 2002. Pours a orange-red color with an off white head. Has a vinous smell with a very dry, malty, grape sweet and spicy flavor. Light bodied with a lively bubbly mouthfeel. Jan 2004
