Ungstrup (10791), Frederiksberg, Denmark Aug 20, 2002 A beutiful dark brown color. It has a light aroma of fruit and a good head. It has a slight aroma of hop bitternes. It is very drinkable but somewhat boring. If I could choose between this and Chimay Bleu I would never drink Chimay Rouge (and I very seldom do) omhper (9937), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 20, 2002 Bottled. Burgundy. Malty, dry and rather hoppy with some toffee. Notes of banana, dry flowery finish. Papsoe (9656), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 14, 2005 Updated: Jan 9, 2006(Bottle 33 cl) Muddy brownish colour with a beautiful rocky head. Extremely dry, more dry than bitter. Some chocolatey notes. Not as full-bodied as most other trappists, but still a very beautiful experience. 040993
As "Chimay Premiere" 050599 Oakes (6776), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Dec 26, 2000 Updated: Jan 8, 2006Cloudy light brown (slight amber accent) with bone-coloured head. Aroma of raisin bread (candi sugar), brown sugar, plums, and a little nuttiness. Flavour starts sweet (apple pie, plum, raisin), picks up a bit of demerara accent, then turns more yeasty with a bit of dustiness and astringency late. Alcohol comes in at the end to dry it up. joergen (6130), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 21, 2005 Hazy brown colour with a big off-white head.
Spicy aroma with lots of yeast.
Complex spicy flavour with sweetness and yeast.
