stdavid (6), Italy does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 27, 2007 Poured into a Leffe goblet, brown with red highlights, good head. Smells of dark malts, candy sugar and yeast. Tastes sweet at start malt overall, then burnt coffee and liquorice, yeast too. Lightly bitter at the end.
A "simple" dubbel, easy to drink but nothing more. beerheart (237), Erie, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 24, 2007 This was my introduction to Belgian beer while I was on a business trip to Luxembourg. And the bartender let me bring the Leffe goblet glass back. As such, it has a special place in my heart, though I’ve since discovered many finer Belgian brews.
Pours a dark brown with amber highlights. Has the nice, brown Belgian head with beautiful, light carbonation. Tastes of bread, cocoa, roasted hops, and raisins. Finish with a toasted alcohol burn. This is nice. Wish it were distributed in the US, like it’s blonde sibling. Beershine (2710), Where Climate Suits My Clothes, Vietnam
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 22, 2007 A beefier, browner version of its blonde cousin. Tim Webb calls this one a "tasty but safe" beer and I can’t put it any better! Brix (372), Denmark

Smells like cloves and caramel. Tastes like banana, burned sugar, cloves and molasses. Round taste! shoestring (187), larkhall, Scotland
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 10, 2007 Lively. Nice rich colour. Spices, dark fruit, malt and brown sugar are all in the aroma.. Goodgrief (1152), Middletown, Delaware, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2007 I don’t know much about Belgians too say too much. I liked it...it wasn’t overpowering and had a nice hop/malt balance. I’d have this again, but I wouldn’t go out looking for it. It was ridiculously, expensive, though...so that effects my rating (even if it shouldn’t). davegore (202), liverpool, Merseyside, England
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 2, 2007 Nice dark but slightly opaque brown, lively in the glass. Strong sweet caramel on the nose leading nicely onto rich caramel in the mouth, dark chocolate, rich fruit mountainforest (111), Edinburgh, Scotland
