The good monks of Chimay make beer that comes in different coloured bottles. The red, or rouge, is the least strong of these.
I had this beer as when I asked for a beer du demon the bar maid couldn't find it and started to look a bit flustered at the people waiting behind me. The post office vaults doesn't seem to have a system for putting beers into the fridges and this can result in a long wait for a beer.
The beer itself was nice, a fairly standard dubbel style beer with a kind of rich fruity sweetness going on. Drinkable but not special, although I was glad it was only 7% as some if these Belgian beers can really bowl me over when they push into double figures. 3.5 out of 5.
I also learned that there may be plans afoot to move the post office vaults 3 doors down the road. Exciting if this is true.
