Aroma is spicry and fruity. pours light brown with a red hue, with a big head that leaves a good amount of lacing. Flavor is malty and dry with some spiciness, and raisins. easying drinking mouthfeel. More hops and complexity would be nice... but by no means a bad beer.

Copper in colour, with a light brown head. Huge caramel aroma, with some fruitiness also. Palate was drier than I expected, and the alcohol was well hidden. Sweet finish with some mild alcohol. Very nice 15/20 Re-rate, nothing like i remember... drier dusty aroma, old flavour... slightly metallic and stale 13/20

Old brown color with shine of red exotic wood and bone like colored head. Nose of Pear stuffed in red wine, cinnamon, light roasted malts and cheep Port. It has a medium taste with some roundness. In the afthertaste there is some maltyness with candy sugar, dried sultanas and an unineresting bitterness that stays too long on the pallet.

Bottle @ Caffe Ke, Madrid. Pours a reddish-amber with an off-white head. Aroma is dominated by malt and spices, with that "bubblegum-ish" Leffe signature thrown in. The taste is dominated by Belgian candy sugar, with fruits and spices making an appearance as well. This is the most complex Leffe, though it is not the highest-quality of all the Leffe offerings.

More aroma, but a lot less taste than the Vieille Cuvée. Wouldn’t think I’d ever say this about a Leffe, but it’s actually a bit boring. Too sweet and a bit too fizzy.

Not as good as the Brune or Blonde. Nice but quickly disappearing head. Beautiful red copper colour but overly sweet and cloying.

330 mL bottle. Very, very nice colour - copper, which almost looks purple in a certain light. Can’t give it a 5 though, ’cause the head disappeared quite rapidly. Aroma is mild and on the sweet side, with fruit, tea, and a bit of spice. Flavour is good: spice, honey, caramel, and some fruit and anise near the end. Decent bitterness in the finish, some of which may be from the alcohol. Not as full as it could be. Not bad.
