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.

330ml bottle. Hazy copper to rown colour with a tan head that quickly fades. Aromas of spiced fruit and christmas pudding. Thick taste that leaves an impression on the tongue.

Great malt with clean and crisp Belgian yeast flavors on top. Fruity, wet, and sticky. Raisins, plums, dried fruit. Good stuff.

Muddy somewhat light brown, quickly settling head, medium homogenous bubbles. Light fruity aroma, apricot describes it well. Dry, a little bitter. Not very complex. Silky also describes it well. Fresh and fizzy, but smooth. Not very interesting. Purchased in Kihoskh.

a dusky ruby red with a large beige head that recedes to lace. smell is liquorice, hops, alcohol, dried apricot, bitter, nutty taste and very smooth, dry, spicy mouthfeel. definitely even better than i remember it being.

Pour is a cloudy amber color with a fairly large head. Slightly spicy and malty nose. Dark fruity flavors with a deep roasted malt. Fairly complex and well balanced.

nose of misleadingly unchallenging lager malt. a wave of caramel soon follows and the journey begins. flavor is strongly sweet then quickly balanced with tastefully used hops. the tongue sizzles in their presence and belgian spice comes in the aftertaste during an exhalation of bated breath. an eternally drinkable and satisfying beer.

probably the most rated beer that i haven’t rated already. I haven’t really been able to dig the blue, so this might be interesting. red/amber/brownish with a big smooth thick offwhite head. aroma is a subdued dark fruits, caramel, faint toffee. flavor is extremely balanced and complex, comes off as chocolate cake with cinnamon, with cocoa on top, in other words, spicces, chocolate, cocoa, sweet malts, very faint dark fruits. i don’t like chocolate cake with coacoa on top, and am not a fan of cinnamon, so this one gets a low rate. even though it tastes rater bad, it is easy to register that it is a very well crafted beer.
