Borresteijn (1349), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 19, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy brown beer, off-white head. Aroma of malts, milk chocolate, fruits. Flavour is soft and rather sweet, malty and yeasty, dark fruits, just a little sourness. Very nice and soft dubbel. Angeloregon (2024), Portland, Oregon, USA Aug 17, 2008 On tap at Belmont Station in PDX--Poured a dark brown body with a thick beige-tan head. Roasty nutty coffee chocolate nose. Malty, subtle, spicy, aromatic, delicious beer worth a try. Yum! kubilai (33), , Quebec, Canada Aug 14, 2008 Pours a gfreat dark-brown color with a beige foamy head. Aroma of roasted malt added with coffee, chocolate and spices. Malty taste but does not deliver what aroma promises. A good beer after all. Svesse (2601), Hässelby, Sweden Aug 14, 2008 (Draught at Dovetail, Farringdon, London, 4 Aug 2008) Dark brown colour with a frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with chocolate, spices (clove, cardamom) and roasted malt. Malty, sweet taste with notes of chocolate, brown sugar and cola. Got a kind of industrial feel to it (no surprises). Way too sweet. Taste doesn’t manage to deliver what a promising aroma indicates. As with the other Leffe beers, quality seems to be going down, but it’s still drinkable. bgiamatei (225), São Paulo, Brazil Aug 13, 2008 boa cerveja. Coloração acobreada - vinho escuro.Espuma sempre presente de boa formação. Sabor caramelo suave, grãos torrados e frutado. Cheiro frutado e levemente torrado as (117), Novi Beograd, Serbia Aug 13, 2008 0,33 l bottle. Dark brown color. Nice beer with a complex, fruity taste. Aromas mostly of roasted malt, licorice and various fruits (cherries, raspberries, apples). Very sweet aftertaste. Nothing too special compared to similar Belgian beers, I guess, but still a very good beer. rabbikrabbi (15), , Iceland Aug 12, 2008 33 cl bottle. Excellent beer! Nice filling and medium head. Beautiful brown color. Fruity aroma. Nicely balanced and malty. Tastes sweet and medium bitterness. Caramel and toffee. Long and lasting bitter aftertaste. espenra (277), Oslo, Norway Aug 12, 2008 33cl bottle from Vinmonopolet. It poured a dark reddish-brown, almost black colour with a medium head that disappears fast and leaves a thin white roof in the glass. The aroma smells of dark fruits and malts. The flavour is dry and bitter and tastes of malts, dark fruits and grains. It has a medium long aftertaste.
