PalCabral (35) - SWEDEN - OCT 8, 2009
Bottle from Systembolaget. Brown with red highlights, clear and brilliant. No aroma except roasted malts (or barley) and thin flavor. The taste lingers and it’s difficult to say if it’s the yeast, the roasted malt (or barley) or the hops that create a bit bitter spicy ending. Not a great beer, not a bad beer.

Beerlando (3276) - Orlando, Florida, USA - OCT 8, 2009
Draft. Pours a clear chestnut brown hue with a foamy tan head that settles in to a thin film. A sudsy wash dries to minimal, spotty lacing. The aroma shows malty notes of brown sugar, cola, prunes, and fig. Yeasty, toasted bread notes emerge, followed by just a hint of fruity tartness. Flavors follow suit, again centered big brown sugar malt and dark fruit, with a very light tart, yeasty twinge. Medium-plus on the tongue, with a smooth, velvety consistency, it finishes just a hint of drying alcohol. Good, solid brew.

Wombata (184) - Kobe, JAPAN - OCT 4, 2009
Appearance: Hazy brown Aroma: Initially this was a bit metallic, which disappeared as it warmed a bit. Once at a suitable temperature the aromas came out to reveal cocoa, coke, vanilla, and perhaps baking spice. Flavor: The initial flavors of soft caramel, roasted chocolate, and slight vegetable notes turned to cocoa, slightly dilute chocolate liquor with a long roasted nutty chocolate finish with a nutmeg-like spice. Comment: Light-medium body but packs more flavor than it’s weight would suggest. It definitely needs to be allowed to warm up a bit when taken out of the fridge.

trevor211 (920) - Seattle, Washington, USA - OCT 2, 2009
Really pretty pour. Love the brews with a bit of bright red showing through a dark beer. Dense, creamy head, too. Dark malts, dark fruits, brown sugar, and a bit of apple cider on the nose, but the tartness offered by the cider is pounded to the background by the overwhelming sweetness of the rest of the notes. The cider notes comes through a bit more in the flavor, but this is really like a weaker, sweeter, not-nearly-as-refined version of an Abt. Not even up to a good abbey brown’s level. Nothing really bad about it, but there’s definitely a reason it’s the cheapest Belgian on the taplist.

odgaard (365) - Skyum, Thisted, DENMARK - SEP 26, 2009
Dark marhogny color with a lasting offwhite head. Fine lacing. Aroma of hops, roasted malt and yeast. Taste: Yeast, hops and roasted malt. Pretty dry. Low sweetness. Ok beer.

Nice brown dubbel. Although dubbels are usually my favorite in the case of Leffe I prefer the Blonde. Both have a nice banana/choco flavor to it, and not too alcoholic.
