I have just enjoyed a Chimay Rood bier, 7% strong, and Chimay cheese sandwich with some sweet mango chutney.
Chimay is one of the authentic Trappist beers from Belgium which means that the beer was brewed within the walls of an existing trappist monastery under the control of the trappist community. A major part of the sales revenue is used by the monks to support charitable works.
To enjoy a Chimay beer, you need the chalice-shaped glass to fully experience the aromas and the flavour.
Chimay Rood gives a silky taste on the tongue and a slight touch of bitterness towards the end. It should be drunk between 10º and 12º C.
Carrefour are selling a gift pack with one bottle each of Chimay Rood, Blauw and Tripel plus a glass.
