The beers of FUTENMA: CHIMAY Brune (Red lable)

Tonight I review CHIMAY Brune or Red (as it is commonly refered to). Supposedly a dark brown dubble Trappist with a sweet, fruity aroma, at least that's what Wikipedia said. Wikipedia's been wrong a couple of times, so we'll see about this one.

It looks like the other two bottles of CHIMAY I've reviewed, but with a red cap and lable. I'll be using the same CHIMAY Chalice as the previous reviews. After I pry off the crimpcap, the nose from the bottle has a lager quality to it. A mild head forms when I pour it, it certainly is brown. It has quite the barley nose from the chalice, not heavy, but you can tell it's a brown ale. It tastes rich, it's a little acidic, I want to say it has a mild cherry taste to it, but I may need to think on that one. Wikipedia was wrong though, the aroma is not fruity, but the taste is, mildly. For the most part it tastes like a brown ale, albeit one of the better brown ales I've ever had. It's not blow you're socks off good, but it's worth picking up.

So, I've been watching a YouTube show called "The Great War". This show goes week by week and talks about what happened exactly a century ago in WW1. If you follow any YouTube channels, you should defiantly watch this one. It presents history in an interesting a mostly apolitical way, which I appreciate.
So, now that I'm out of this beer, it's time to sum up. It's a brown ale with a mild fruity flavor (I say cherry, but that's up for interpretation). Not a let down, but not what I've come to expect from a Trappist brewery.
