bottle. fizzy khaki colored (quickly dissapating) head into murky blackish-red body. decent lacing. some ripe fruits (cherries and berries mostly), yeast and malts were all noticed in the aroma. flavor is sweet with light bitterness in finish. fizzy carbonation. no suprise to anyone this one is good but not as good as the blue.

Sep 2, 2008 very nice brew, copper colour, carbonation evident but not disruptive of flavour. A lot of malty caramel notes with mild fruitiness in the flavour. Very nice easy drinking double.

Aug 31, 2008 31.08.2008, 0,33l Bottle. The beer is lively carbonated. The colour is redish brown. Aroma is well balanced. Very nice.

Aug 30, 2008 Another great chimay brew. A dark reddish brown but easy drinking belgian. Not near as much of the wine like tastes of the blue or the tripel, but a very good dubbel.

Aug 29, 2008 Bottle sampled at Dayton Ale Fest. Dark brown color with a fairly thick head. Not much lacing. Extremely drinkable Belgian brew but not the most complex. It’s pretty hard to compare this one to the Chimay Blue. Still, has nice sweet flavors of raisins and other fruit with slight yeasty aromas and flavors as well. Pretty dry finish.

Aug 29, 2008 750ml bottle from By the Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a rich, ruby-chestnut body with a full beige head. Yeastiness, hoppiness, and sweet maltiness prevailed on this beer. Lots of aroma and fruity complexities. Effervescent mouthfeel, but not over the top. Gritty, full-bodied texture. Great hoppy profile. Spicy yet easy on the palate. I could drink this all day.
