Leffe Brune

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Leuven, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass

Can’t believe I’ve never tried this beer. Deep dark amber. Great lacing. Burnt malt aromas with vanilla, currant, caramel. Mouthfeel is velvety and a little sticky. Sweet flavours of raisin, vanilla, a hint of citrus on the finish. Heavy malt and sweet, a little one dimensional but still great for its category. Delicious. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a deep and dark copper with a large white head. Nose is spice, cloves and cinnamon. Typical dark fruit smell from the style. The scent is rich. Taste is mildly sweet, but not necessarily well balanced. It starts promising but then goes bland. The mouthfeel is fairly smooth and slick, sharp in the beginning but goes flat quickly.

12oz bottle pours light brown with off white head. Aromas of sweet toffee and some light citrus like orange or lemon. Flavor is sweet cut with a brown ale flavor slightly malty but retains the usual leffe flavor. Body is medium and finish leaves candied sugars

Pours dark brown/copper with a really high foam that stays. Aroma sweet belgian yeast, sugar and some fruits. Earthy feel. Medium palate. Too sweet in my taste. Yet Not Bad.

33 cL bottle from LCBO poured into official Leffe trappist glass (Is there any other way ;) ). Pours a dark caramel brown with tan pillowy head with everlasting retention. The aroma of this beer is rather sweet and subtle. Needless to say there is a definite smell of hops, raisin, bread and to finish it off floral and vanilla hints here and there. The taste is rather complex and different flavors can be tasted and appreciated as the beer warms in temperature. Taste is characteristic Leffe with mild bitter hops, fruit, yeast, bread, caramel and finally finishing with the warmth of alcohol. Leffe Brune is full bodied, not thin nor watery. It has a rather sticky texture and has a coating effect. Carbonation is average with larger than normal bubbles and goes well with the beer. The finish is somewhat bitter but manageable, the warmth of the alcohol is definitely present. Overall this beer is great. It has a lot of the character of Leffe Blonde however the Blonde would be my choice between the two, it’s slightly lighter in all aspects making it more drinkable.

From, the 11.2 fl. oz. bottle marked 18/05/13-4902:45. This has a nice looking dark amber pour with a red hue and a fluffy, long lasting head. When I bought it I thought it was a brown ale but the aromas were nothing like that. Instead there was a decent yeast, candied sugar and malty character. Hops, not really. The body is medium to heavy. The taste has a sickly sweet flavor with a cool, clean finale. Actually not bad.

pours dark red with a stable off-white head. aroma of malt, yeast, and grass. Taste of dark caramel, coffee and roast, with roastiness developing on palate, but not resolving into actual bitterness which would have been out of place.

Pours light brown with a medium sized head of tan bubbles. Aroma is toffee with a touch of dark fruit. Medium in body with a nice amount of carbonation. Flavor is sweet, with toffee caramel raisin and just enough hops for balance. All in all a fine ale.
