Chimay Red: 18

Taste: 6 Finish: 6 Visual: 3 Aroma: 4
Total: 18

It is very cloudy and has a dark brown and red hue. The head is small. There is a ripe fruit and honey aroma to it. On the first sip I notice it is way too carbonated in my mouth. But under the foam is deeply ripened plums and cherries. It also as a bit of an earthy quality to it. It finishes a bit sweet and has an unexpected exhale of chocolate.

A pretty good brew except for the over-carbonation. It definitely masks some of the flavors.
