Commercial Description:
Bottle Conditioned.
Ingredients: Pilsner malt (French barley from Champagne) & caramalt; German Hallertaur & American Galena hops. Yeast & sugar added to the bottled beer.
Chimay Rouge (Red) is noted for its coppery colour which makes it particularly attractive. Topped with a creamy head, it gives off a light, fruity apricot aroma produced by the fermentation. The taste perceived in the mouth is a balance confirming the fruity nuances noticed in the fragrance. Its taste, which imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, is made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness. To the palate, the taster perceives a pleasant astringency which complements the flavour qualities of this beer very harmoniously. This top fermented Trappist beer, refermented in the bottle, is not pasteurised.

Bottle @ Metro. 7%. Dark brown/amber colour with a tan head. Aroma is toffee, hazelnut, sweet malts. Taste is light, grainy and sweet fruits. Quite pleasantly spiced and extremely smooth on the finish. Dark, strong bodied, and absolutely superb.

Bottle. Cloudy amber beer. Head does not last. Slight caramel taste very well balanced with mild hops. Very clean taste. Medium body. Alcohol is masked very well. Very good.

Bottle. Pours a murky, dark amber-brown with a beige head. Aroma is malt, nuts, yeast, melon, spices and dried fruits. Has a swimming pool-like feel to it – like chlorine, only it’s not chlorine. Hmm… Overall, not really my thing, but well-made though. Flavour is malt, yeast, dried fruits and hops with metallic notes; the latter increasing as it warms. Fruity finish with a bit of yeast and a mild bitterness lingering. Too much carbonation. An okay beer, well-made, but not my thing. 08-08-09.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a large off-white head. Spicy aroma with notes of yeast. The flavour is malty and some yeast with hints of fruits and spices. Nice medium-bodied dubbel...it is what it is...
