Feb 26, 2002 Sweet and sour taste, with a note of tropical fruits and spices, especially banana. Finishes off rather flat. Pretty well balanced, with no strong alcohol tang, though this is a fairly strong ale. A pleasant beer.

Oct 5, 2003 Small light brown head and dark red-brown body. Nice aroma; apples, raisins, rum, little spice. Smooth and soft palate. Tastes of less than the aroma makes you anticipate. Little spicy-bitter finish.

Sep 18, 2005 Deep red-amber hue with a rocky, creamy, off-white head. Cherries, plums, straw, caramel, alcohol, sugar, and a hint of anise. But, mostly the aroma is of very dark fruits. Very sweet throughout with a sharp acidity and an alcohol tinge in the back end. Medium body, velvety texture, fizzy carbonation. Thank Eris I finally figured out what this unlabeled (in my notebook) rating was for! --We’re on a pig’s back charging through a velvet field--

Jun 10, 2004 Light fruits and touches of alcohol in the aroma. Clear golden brown with dense off-white head. Fruity, malty, biscuity. Alcohol somewhat apparent. Touches of chocolate and caramel. Pronounced bitterness in the finish. Smooth mouthfeel. Bottle (sampled at Mondial 2004).

Mar 4, 2004 First Leffe i've ever tried, definately not my last. Quite a strong aroma. Sourish nose with a bit of spice and sweet fruitiness is what I get. Pours clean dark redish amber with tan lacing. A carmally malt beginning a fair bit of alcohol gets through quite quickly. A number of sour fruity notes along with way, maybe apple, and a fair bit of spice towards the end. Creamy kind of mouthful that is a bit let down by the quite apparent alcohol. Very nicely flavoured beer, maybe lacking enough to mask the alcohol as so many other Belgian strongs do so well.
