330mL bottle. Pours clear dark red with a frothy off-white head that settles to a ring and leaves a lot of lacing. Earthy yeast aromas, some fruity esters and some malt. Very sweet, some acidity. Light-medium bodied, average carbonation, creamy with a bit of a tart and yeasty finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a deep, dark copper clear body with a thick, dense off-white head. Nose is syrupy and sweet, with hints of cherry and yeasty undertones. Taste is very sweet, with candy sugar, wood, cherries (although a bit artificial) and clove. Some grassy hop bitterness in the finish. Complex, and yet light and drinkable. A very good abbey dubbel, and a true original in the beer world - no other brand has that particular "Leffe sweetness". At least no one I’ve tasted yet (since there’s about 8-9000 different beer types from Belgium, it’s hard to be bombastic about these things...).

Csapolva kóstoltam Esztergomban. Barna/bézs krémes, kellemes hab alatt fekete test. Édes malátás illat gyümölcsökkel. Íze is édes kis pörkölt malátával, csokoládéval és érett gyümölcsökkel.

On tap at Chancey Smiths, London. Dark pour, with an off white head. Nice aroma. More body than the blonde, with a little bit of roast malt pushing the spices into the background some.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: DEC 10, 2011 Bottle from Waitrose. Pours cloudy and quite dark brown with a frothy head. The malt aroma is accompanied by yeast, Heavier in body and flavour than Leffe blonde with overtones of more roasted malt balancing the yeast; of the 2 I’d choose this one.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Nice dark amber color with a nice lasting head. Yest, malts and some fruits in aroma, some sweetness, too. Malty, sweet flavor with hoopy aftertones on the palate. Nice finish with malty and hoppy flavor lasting quite so long. Enjoyable.
