Had this at the Cafe Leffe in Paris, my only chance to try a new beer in an entire week in the city, a desolate wasteland of Kronenbourg and Heinekin. Deep brown, nice head. Flavor is lush malts, caramel accented, with loads of dark fruit. Quite complex and enjoyable. Would get more love here I suspect if it wasn’t an InBev product. Score perhaps inflated a bit by what the alternatives were during the week.

pours a dark ruby brown (cola-colored) with an off-white head. special at tesco in prague! aroma is malty with some gentle dark fruits, a touch of brown sugar and some spice. taste is spiced with some faint dried fruits and lite brown sugar. not too complex, but has some nice flavors. even has a bit of a bitterish note in there. alcohol bites through with a slight numbing zing (no palate killer, but a little zing can be felt on the tongue), and a warming character on the finish. head retention is pretty good, with some foamy lacing present. mid- full bodied with a lightly prickly carbonation. overall a good brew. i wouldn’t pay too much for it, as i can see how this one could be overpriced (i payed 29Kc, or about $1.50 for a .33mL bottle). definitely worth a try though.

Shared this one w/ SkyCop32. Picked up at the Ramstein AB shopette. Pours a nice cola colored brown. Aromas of malts, fruit, and a touch of spice. Has flavors of chocolate, caramel, and a touch of wood. Kinda thin in the finish.

I was disappointed and expected more as this was a dark color and good smell. The initial taste was malty with a hint of sweetness but lacked body and taste.

Color is deep ruby brown. Pours with lacy, foamy but vanishing head. Aroma is malty, yeasty, fruity. Mild, sweet malty flavor is syrupy and metallic with sweet yeasty finishing. Palate is medium-bodied and quite much, foamy carbonated.

A bottle. Dark attractive looking beer. Nice chocolate like flavours, not overpowering or very complex, Very drinkable.

Draft at the Brickskeller, D.C. Very cloudy pour, with a surprising degree of carbonation. Nothing oily about the mouthfeel, but rather a crisp and effervescent body. Very drinkable, modestly fruity, but not terrifically distinctive.
