Leffe Brune

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Leuven, Belgium

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bottle. Pours a cola brown body with a dark tan head. Light sweet and grainy, spicy bitterness, toffee and a light nuttiness. Decent.

My favorite so far of the Leffe lineup. The pour is a lighter shade of brown/red. The head is un-impressive, beige. The nose is wonderfully fruity with hints of flowers and nuts. The flavor is the best part as it should be, the beer is sweet, with an undertone of fresh malts overpowered by citrus hops. The palate is perfect, not too heavy not too thin.

Pours a gorgeous shade of brown, held up to light becomes a deep burgundy red. Not much head, what there is is a deep beige colour. Smell is spicy and vaguely nutty. Flavour is about the same, there is some nice spicy yeasty sort of flavours and a good bit of hop bitterness though not much flavour. There is some sugary malt in the background. Mouthfeel is not too bad, not really watery, but not really syrupy either.

Bottle. Pours clear brown with a light brown head. Heavy malts, cookie, nutty, molasses. light hops. Watery texture.
