Chimay is the best known and largest Belgian Trappist brewery and it sets the standard for Trappist beers. Chimay Red Cap was first brewed in 1862 and is the oldest of the Chimay trappist beers. It is a dark brown colour with a sweet, fruity aroma and nutty character. It imparts a silky sensation to the tongue, made refreshing by a light touch of bitterness.
