Chimay "Rouge"
Abbey Dubbel Trappist Ale (ABV 7%)

[Best served in a Trappist glass]

Rating: 3.4/5.0

Aroma: 7/10
Appearance: 3/5
Taste: 7/10
Palate: 4/5
Overall: 13/20

The pour was a medium copper in color with an average sized off white foamy head that was mostly lasting and had some what fair lacing.

The aroma was of a toasted caramel malt, a light resin hop and a sweet yeast with a hint of apricot, banana, dried fruit and some spice (cinnamon and maybe a little nutmeg).

It tasted very light, sweet and malty with notes of sweet dried fruit and banana in the beginning and finished moderately sweet with a tinge of bitterness that had a nice malty feel to it with notes of caramel and spices at the end. Although I would have liked the flavor to last a nice long while, it only lasted a short time.

Mouthfeel was light to medium bodied and watery yet somewhat creamy in texture with a flat carbonation.

Overall a very enticing brew, but anything from this brewer seems to taste well.
