Wynne (22), , Pennsylvania, USA Jan 13, 2009 I find the regular blond Leffe rather boring, so I was pleasantly surprised by the brown Leffe. Slight mocha and toffee, strong but well-balanced, nice head. If you find it too hard or too bitter, you can add a bit of grenadine; it blends very nicely with this beer. I personally like it both ways depending on my mood. altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands Jan 12, 2009 Drank in a bottle at home. A very heavy, flavorful beer. Chocolate-smell. Have enjoyed many of these in Bruxelles. Prefer it over the blonde. cab (862), Denmark Jan 9, 2009 Bottle.33cl. Spicy rich aroma. Great appearance, deep brown with almost a perfect off white dough head. Long and pleasant aftertaste. sdriessen (203), Dunedin, New Zealand Jan 7, 2009 Roasted malt, chocolaty aroma. Some hops are present.
Golden syrup/toffee sweetness. A weak coffee aroma.
Subtle flavours of chocolaty malt and hops. Some spiciness of licorice, maybe a bit peppery.
Medium bodied, almost no aftertaste.
Quite an average beer, but still very nice. carruthm (1112), Seattle, Washington, USA Dec 31, 2008 on tape from seattle’s deluxe. roasted chestnut color and a spice aroma, smooth balance and the taste that you would expect from a belgian abbey dubbel. trapez (767), Hilleroed, Denmark Dec 31, 2008 Bottle. Malt, ripe fruits, nuts and a hint of wine in aroma. Clear gilden dark redbrown colour with large beige head. Sweet malt, nuts and hust a bit of coffee in flavour. zvikar (414), Tel-Aviv, Israel Dec 30, 2008 Looks like a coke in leffe glass. Medium tan head above a brown bubbly juice. Delicate aroma of rippen fruits highly sweet and alcoholic with some flower notes. Sweet rippen fruits like sweet wine with some malt and clove, later on some hoppy flavors. Creamy texture and nice pleasant aftertaste. hallinghansen (263), Odense SV, Denmark Dec 23, 2008 Bottle 33cl. Brown clear body with a light brown head. Aroma is caramel. Taste: 1st mouthfull was a bit waterish. I also tasted caramel and spices.
