Chimay Premiere (pack of 4) (33cl, 7%)

Chimay Premiere is a 7% ABV Belgian Dubbel ale, brewed and bottle-refermented by Trappist monks at Scourmont Abbey in Chimay, Belgium. Also known as Chimay Red, it is top-fermented and undergoes a triple fermentation process, with a second fermentation in the bottle followed by 21 days of controlled temperature and humidity maturation. The aroma leads with fruity apricot, with caramel malt warmth and faint spice. The palate is smooth and malt-forward, with caramel sweetness, apricot, plum, dark chocolate, pepper and clove, tempered by a lightly bitter astringency. The finish is medium in length, silky and gently sweet, with dried fruit and subtle spice.
