16013.81/5.03.81/5.07%95.9 Trappist glass P  Stats

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.

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)

(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

Cloudy 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.

Hazy brown colour with a big off-white head. Spicy aroma with lots of yeast. Complex spicy flavour with sweetness and yeast.
