Leffe Brune

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Leuven, Belgium

Dark brown pour with a a fluffy off-white head. Aroma of berries, yeast and cherries, some nougat in there too. A warm fruity flavour hits the tongue immediately, followed by a bittersweet chocolatey finish. Well-carbonated with a creamy mouthfeel. Quite reminiscent of, yet far better than the Blond - no flaws to me. Yummy stuff and far too drinkable!

Aroma is a little roasty with hints of chocolate, caramel and coffee. It’s a very flavorful beer. It’s sweet and tastes a little like dark chocolate. I like it a lot.

On tap. Pours a dark brown and has an aroma of bread with hints of some fruitiness. Doesn’t seem to be a true "Brune" as it taste more like a weisse. Still easy drinking and enjoyable.

Hmm! Is this really the Brune? It is very yeasty and "weisse"-like. It is no way near a brown ale. Brown with off-white head. Malty and citrus taste and smell. A little creaminess. Overall a nice beer, although not very complex.

Colore marrone molto scuro con una gran schiuma spumosa.Aroma come di pane e cioccolato con frutta secca in sottofondo.Sapore dolce di lquirizia e cioccolato in sottofondo.Una birra molto buona e la migliore delle Leffe che ho avuto il piacere di gustare.

On tap at Mahars. Rich dark brown color with a great foamy head. Flavor is complex ands sweet, a really perfect belgian dubbel.

on tap at gingerman. Poured a murky brown with an tanish head that had good retention. Aroma was mostly of bread notes but had some dried fruit in the background. Flavor was initally sweet with dried fruits and some bread notes. Flavor needed a little more kick , for it seemed one-demensional at times, otherwise the beer was good.

Draught at RFD in Chinatown, DC. Maybe it’s that it followed Bell’s Chery Stout, but this tasted likeflat root beer. Start, middle, and finish. Pretty unimpressive. Or, maybe I was too drunk to notice its subtleties.
