| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 10, 2007 33cl bottle. Leffe Brune is a brown beer with a frothy and enduring beige head that leaves a nice lacing. The aroma is very fruity - bananas - with a touch of caramel. The flavour is similarly sweet and light bodied with notes of liquorice. Clean but sugary finish. Interesting for my first Abbey Dubbel but I wasn’t especially keen on it.

Buona.______________ENGLISH TEXT HERE______________Best Leffe I tasted, with medium complexity in aroma and flavor (astonishing for such a mainstream brew); body not too watery.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 2, 2007 From bottle...had this one at a small pub in north Vietnam in my travels. Hazy brown with a medium sized head, laces away after a few minutes. Very sweet flavor with cinnamon and caramel background. I could drink lots of this stuff if the price was domestic. A pretty straightforward brew. heavy (835), Split, Croatia
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 31, 2007 0,33 l bottle. Dark brown colored with big ocher head. Aroma of sweet malt with caramel. Flavor really sweet, maybe bit too much for my taste, some caramel mixed with yeast. Not much carbonation, creamy texture and, unfortunately, sweet but short finish. Very good beer but there are many better. patrick767 (2019), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 28, 2007 draft - Pours brown with a substantial head and a yeasty, malty aroma. The flavor is sweet and malty with yeast and a little fruit in the background. Medium bodied and lively, it’s not complicated, but it’s a good quaff. stdavid (6), Italy does not count | 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 27, 2007 Poured into a Leffe goblet, brown with red highlights, good head. Smells of dark malts, candy sugar and yeast. Tastes sweet at start malt overall, then burnt coffee and liquorice, yeast too. Lightly bitter at the end.
A "simple" dubbel, easy to drink but nothing more. beerheart (237), Erie, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 24, 2007 This was my introduction to Belgian beer while I was on a business trip to Luxembourg. And the bartender let me bring the Leffe goblet glass back. As such, it has a special place in my heart, though I’ve since discovered many finer Belgian brews.
Pours a dark brown with amber highlights. Has the nice, brown Belgian head with beautiful, light carbonation. Tastes of bread, cocoa, roasted hops, and raisins. Finish with a toasted alcohol burn. This is nice. Wish it were distributed in the US, like it’s blonde sibling.
