Lefebvre Floreffe Prima Melior (Meilleure)

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

Rerate: Ok now that I give it another whiff the chocolate is fantastic perfect ten on this beast. G-rat

If the nose on this bad boy were a little more complex it would be damn near perfect. Deep mahogony, flesh colored head. Billowy and cloying the head is magnificent. Frothy. Nose: Chalky like a Chimay bleu. Although this pervades it is accompanied by notes of bakers chocolate. Flavors explode on the palate. Velvety texture. Plums, aniseed, chocolate, rum. This is the best Belgian strong money can buy. If you find it you must buy it. G-rat

Had this several years ago. I remember wishing that I could get more. I think it was on draft once or twice at Bodega, but not sure. You understand with this hobby, being addled is a factor.... It was a great beer in the traditional Belgian Brown sense but with more of everything and very drinkable.

perfect example of a delicious beer

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.

Dark brown with a massive beige head. The aroma is a glorious, decadent chocolate-malt-liquorice feast. The taste is honeyed, smooth with a little orange sourness, sweet marzipan and almonds, and a perfectly balanced dry finish. Can beer ever be better than this?

It was classified to the father Abbot and its hosts. It was before, was the best one...it is still...

Lovely burgundy colour large frothy pink tinge head good carbonation aroma malty plum fruit vanilla flavour caramel aniseed raisin plum nice creaminess and smoothness to this drink sweet notes then tangy mild bitter fig bounce around the palate finish sweet tangy mild dryness lovely this is something special to me.

Orig rating 2/22/02: This is #100 for me, and it’s awesome!! Nice sweet aroma, flavor with hints of banana, pineapple, peach. Slightly sparkly on your togue, a bit sour and acidic at the finish. Quite nice. RE-RATE: Had it a few more times, insanely good.
