Leffe Brune

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Abbey Dubbel

Smoky aroma adds to the dark colour. Tastes full rich and a touch bitter. Great beer among a great night of beer tasting at Castro’s

Clear dark ruby with a big whte head, nice retention, nice lacing... dark fruits, raisin, prune, kinda has a chocolate aroma, malty, lightly sweet... lively, lightly watery, dry finish, a bit spicy, flavor is a touch thin, kinda bland for a dubbel... some fruits, some spice...

Bottle. Hadn’t had one for ages and slightly different from as I remembered. Brownish colour, nose is more spicy, yeasty rather than sweet roasty caramel which for some reason I expected, this is backed up by the flavours - I got yeasty mild plummy fruit and on the finish a touch of nice if light Belgian hop. It’s nice enough, bit dull though.

Ruby/Brown color with a tall tan head. Has a very pleasant fruity aroma (red fruits) and leaves a sweetness sensation on your tongue.

Dark ruby-brown liquid, clear, with a thick tan head. Aroma of autumnal fruits bursts forth from the glass, blending with notes of milk chocolate and caramel. Very enticing. Taste is surprisingly light at first, with earthy hops tingling on the tongue in the manner of much lighter European brews. Only as it lingers on the palate do the darker aspects emerge. Smoke (and/or toasted bread) is a noticeable component of the flavor profile, providing an intriguing contrast to the sweet aroma and evoking cozy images of crackling hearth fires warming the Fall season’s first cold nights. This masterful brew also has a long, pleasant aftertaste of hops bitterness that lingers indefinitely without becoming too astringent. I liked this one a lot.

300 ml bottle. From Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Dark reddish brown colour with creamy off-white head. Dark fruity, malty and caramel aroma with mild Belgian yeast. Malt and bread in flavour. Boring. Not necessarily bad but not interesting either. I’ve been avoiding all Leffe products for years. No need to change that.
