Leffe Brune

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Leuven, Belgium

bottle: What a great beer. Both the blonde & the brune remind me of the holdiays & are great winter beers. Pours dark brown colour with frothy, puffy white head. The label says roasted malts give a sweet caramel taste but also bitter - that about says it. Very sweet, malty, fruity beer that just about overwhelms the palate but not quite. This is a stronger ale: I think I prefer the blonde (crisper) while this one’s alcohol taste is a little too strong at times. Still, we are talking quality and excellent example of style.

Good over all Belgium beer. Nice dark brown color. Well balanced. Good in the cooler months

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a nice average lasting light-brown head. Sweet, malty and hoppy aroma. Flavour of toasty malts, caramel, some spices, hops. Sweetish and bitter finish.

Bottle. Light body for a bruin. Dark brown with light lacing. Wine and raisin aroma. A slight sourness. Yeast gas in the end.

Its definitely better than the blonde though harder to find in the bars. A solid dark beer.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is cellar notes, fruit. Flavour is cellar notes, fruit, apple, sweet.

Bottled at Lorry. Reddish brown with a nice beige head. Blackcurrant, sugar and dried fruits in the aroma. The flavor is sweet and fruity, with berries, dried fruits, sugar and some grainy notes. Fullbodied, well-carbonated mouthfeel. The finish is sweet, with dried fruits. A nice one that maybe deserves higher scores. Rating: 6-4-6-4-14-3.4 (061120)

Bottle. Haven’t got much new to say about the pour, nose and taste, except that I found out it desveres a higher rating after all these bottles. Especially the flavor. Considering it’s ABV and effervescence, it’s very easy to drink, and if drank slowly, it goes down all night. (080226)

a quite fulfilling and never disappointing taste from Leffe. Very easy to drink and leaves no alcohol taste. Very mild but pleasant after taste of spices and fruites.
