JCB (1716), Durham, North Carolina, USA Oct 4, 2008 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. EFC1878 (291), Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Deep ruby/brown in colour with lively tan head. Rich, fruity, chocolate malt aroma with orange in the background. Flavour is more chocolate leading to a nice, surprising dry finish. Rich body. Wonderfully balanced beer. Flamojune (93), Ville de Quebec, Quebec, Canada Sep 30, 2008 Peut etre meilleur que la blonde. Belle couleur brune, belle mousse. Un peu plus sucré que la blonde, tres fort... JonnyDr (132), , South Yorkshire, England Sep 29, 2008 Deep brown beer with light head. Malty start leads to caramel/raisins and leathery finish. A decent dark abbey. Borgen (28), Denmark Sep 27, 2008 Bottle. Dark beer with a frothy head. Fresh and taste a bit fruity, but it doesn’t last long . daknole (2810), Plantation, Florida, USA Sep 26, 2008 Bottle from belgianbeergal, thanks! we did tasting of 4 diff Leffe beers. The blonde is the best IMO. this one poured a brown color with a decent sized head. Aroma was simply yeast and raisins. Flavor was muted, I expected more. Slightly sweet and has flavors of raisins and vanilla. I wish it had a bit more oomph. Straling (185), Heerlen, Netherlands Sep 19, 2008 Bottle 33cl.
Aroma is of banana, oranges and raisins.
Taste is a nice mixed fruits combo that goes down with a nice alcohol warmth.
Lies good in the mouth en goes down well any time. Beltramelli (471), Campinas, Brazil Sep 18, 2008 Creme denso e persistente. Coloração avermelhada bem escura. No aroma e sabor, muito malte torrado, café, chocolate, fermento de pão, biscoito... O final é longo e agradavelmente amargo. Não deixe de experimentar.
