Lefebvre Floreffe Prima Melior (Meilleure)

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

Dense and fruity. Concentrated aroma’s of plums, dried apricot and palm sugar. Caramel, bread, and pears on the palate. Nice and heavy. Not much CO2, full-bodied;. Thick and layered!

11.2 oz bottle and served in my NB Worthy glass. A deep brown hue with a foamy off-white head that left very good lace upon the glassware. The aroma has notes of Belgian dark sugar, caramel, grape, plum and prune esters, star anise, cardamom, and a hit of lactic acid. The taste starts with a twangy fruit presence over a layer of caramelized malt and candy sugar. There is a yeasty quality in midsection before wandering off towards a muddled and light-spiced ending. The mouth feel is lively and a tad chalky upon the finish. While not has complex or deep as the best of the genre this is still a very drinkable brew.

Dark brown color. Huge tan head - stayed around for awhile. Sweet malty aroma. Flavor has some pear, molasses. Very nice.

Definitely a dubbel. 750 ml. brown, corked & caged Belgian bottle. No freshness date seen. Loud pop releases the cork. Highly carbonated. Poured out a deep chocolate brown, with some red highlights. Massive, tan colored sticky head clings to the chalice like a drowning man to a life preserver. Big malty aromas, mixed with raisins and dried fruit dominate the aromas. Flavors are of dried fruits, some spices, massive malts, some brown sugar & candied pears. Thick mouthfeel, rich & chewy. Fabulouso! Best Belgian I’ve had in years.

Deep brown pour swirling with tan froth. Sourish aroma awash with grape, apple, cherry, brown sugar, aniseed and bubblegum. Yeasty, herbal and headily alcoholic as it warms. Silky, sweetish, dubbel-like ale wth sourish fruity touches, chocolatey bready malt and a generous pinch of aniseed.

very dark brown with tannish head. a sweet but not overpowering nose. flavor has a dubble sweetness with hints of anise. a good dubble but not a great deal of depth. could be better

Bottled. Pours a deep dark red-brown mahogny colour with a big well lasting light brown head. Aroma of roasted malt and caramel, spices and some yeast. Sweet and roasty maltiness with spices in the flavour along with some yeast and bitter hops. Bitter mildly roasty spiced finish.

Big grape and yeasty aroma...almost like grape bubblegum. It pours a hazy orangish-brown with a moderate beige head. The flavor starts with grape bubblegum with some light yeastiness in the background. The finish is floral with some hints of oxidation. It’s light-medium bodied with mild carbonation.
