Leffe Brune

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Leuven, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass

Bottle. Dark brown, frothy head. Complex aroma of gently roasted malt, brown sugar, dark rum (without the alcohol), mild banana and toffee, more coffee, cream and forest fruit. Moderate carbonation, taste of dark chocolate, forest fruit, roasted malt and coffee with a small pinch of milk. Sweetish on one side, bitterish like dark chocolate on the other. Rightfully a classic.

A traditional Belgian abbey beer with a deep brown colour and a full, sweet and fruity aroma.

I can’t believe that I’ve had this beer so many times and never rated it. Pours deep russet brown with port notes and a whiffly, fluffy white head. Notes of yeasty nuttiness, bready basement aromas, and hard cheese (in a good way). Chocolate flavours dominate with jersey caramel and creamy mouthfeel. Charming beer, well made. I like this.

Dark brown beer, off-white, fluffy and lasting head. Aroma of malts, caramel, candy sugar, yeast and syrup. Flavour rather sweet, malty (dark malts), caramel and yeast. Decent belgian dubbel, nothing wrong, not very exciting.

Dezent malziger Antrunk mit süßer Beinote, die an dem Malz zu kleben scheint. Eine fruchtige Note wird angedeutet, aber bald wieder verworfen, um der Malzigkeit mehr Platz einzuräumen, der danken eingenommen wird. Die Süße klebt weiter an der Malzigkeit, auch wenn sie mit der Zeit etwas milder wird. Gutes, wenn auch etwas monotones Bier. Test vom 10.10.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,10,9,10,12,9 - 9,45
