Lefebvre Floreffe Prima Melior (Meilleure)

Brewed by Brasserie Lefebvre
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Rebecq-Quenast, Belgium

Brown with a small off-white head. Aroma of caramel and molasses with a fruity note of pears. Sweet sugary flavour with some fruit, herbs and spices.

Pours a very dark amber to brown color with a small, creamy white head that lasts. Aroma is quite alcoholic, but with sugary, fruity sweetness. There is also a hint of baked bread. Flavor also has an alcohol dominance, and is slightly sweet all throughout. Quite strong, but nothing that really gets me excited.

Bottle. Pours a clear brown beer with a beige head. The aroma is licorice, staranis and sweetness. The flavor follows the nose closely. The palate is sweet. Overall it tastes a little like cough syrup.

Subtle aroma - got some apricot, orangle peel, but less of the spices - the anis promised by the bottle was virtually undetectable (to me, anyway). Fine looking beer, had a nice burnt orange translucence to it. Tastes of toffee and orange fruits, more mellow and subtle than I expected. Certainly quaffable. Definite yeast, the orange peel and coriander come through more as it warms. Not bad.

750 ml. bottle. Aged one year past best before date. Aroma of dark fruit, apricot, spices, nuts, yeast. The age of the beer has clearly brought out some winey / fruityness. Palatte is yeasty. Taste is fruity with an earthiness to it and spices noticeable. Didn’t realize this was a little old until I got back home with it, but it has not changed the beer for the worse.

Bottle from Halloween tasting 09. Dark brown pour with an off white small cream head, malt smooth consistency. Dark fruits with some spice and an odd coco sweet disposition.

330 ml bottle thanks to KornDogg. Poured cloudy brown in color with a medium beige head. Aroma is malty, with toffee, dark fruits, anise. Tastes of toffee, raisins, anise, orange peel, and a fair amount of spices. Not bad.
