Chimay Première (Red) from Bières de Chimay (Abbaye Notre Dame de Scourmont)
Rating: B+
Appearance: Dark brown with garnet highlights. Big two finger head with good retention. Nothing in the way of lacing.
Smell: Aroma is surprisingly spicy, with some malt and belgian yeast underneath.
Taste: This is a beer to let warm up. The warmer it got, the more flavorful it became. Spicy, then bready yeast and malts. Bitterness seems well-balanced. Finishes dry, which I like.
Mouthfeel: Moderate body, improves as the carbonation fades
Drinkability: Could use a little bit more in the flavor department, but drinkability is good.
Serving type: bottle
