The Chimay Red Cap Premiere 4pk

Dubbel from Chimay, Hainaut, Belgium

97BA

Raw sweetness, peppery spiciness and light phenols. Soft powdery mouth feel with a crisp carbonation and medium body. Smooth. Very evident clove flavour up front and stays around throughout the beer. Hints of birch and ginger beer-like flavours, peppery medcinal phenols and light herbal tea hop flavour. Quite malty but it stays in the back. Fruitiness is likened to a delicate date sweetness and ripe plum. As the beer warms, there's also a suggestion of chocolate/carob. Finish dries a little though still a bit of residual sweetness leftover, herbal flavours also. We can die now. It's okay. Drinking this beer has made the cylce of life complete.
