The Chimay Red is the oldest of the Chimays. Its coppery color and sweet, fruity taste make it a particularly tasty dark ale.
In the 75 centiliter version, which is in existance since 1978, this beer is also called La Première.

Bottle. Brown pour with a large foamy beige head that has good retention. The aroma is mild with malts, peppery spices and Belgian yeasts. The taste is rock candy, raisins and dates. The palate is full and the carbonations soft. Finishes long and semi-sweet. Overall: Decent-Its been a long time since I last had this. Paired well with a north sea cheese.
