Style: Abbey Dubbel
Leuven, Belgium

Serve in Trappist glass

750ml:I wanna give a bigger score ,but the aroma is so subtle . A good dark ale flavour wise: This should be Leffe’s flagship beer, screw the blonde ale. Big roasted malt profile,stout like. Dark fruit like burnt raisns ,which is diggable.A bit syrupy from the malt . Eazy to swill Dubble ale.

On tap at the Artist’s Palate. Pours a deep brown with a thick mocha cream colored head. Aromas of plums and other stone fruits, and possibly toffee notes. Slightly sweet with a nice smooth finish.

330mL bottle. Pours brown with reasonable head. Aroma is rich caramel and spices. Flavour is a mildly sweet spiciness, full-bodied. Leaves a nutty taste on the palate. A solid old favourite.

Bottled. This dark brown beer tastes nicely of dried fruits: raisins and plums. There is a hint of alcohol on the finish.

Bottle. This thing is dark amber brown in the glass with a hefty head, spicy aromas, yeast, orange zest. At cellar temperature more of the flavours come out: dark cherry leading to brown sugar with some fig, sweetness then a hint of licorice before a slightly plain, short finish.

I find the regular blond Leffe rather boring, so I was pleasantly surprised by the brown Leffe. Slight mocha and toffee, strong but well-balanced, nice head. If you find it too hard or too bitter, you can add a bit of grenadine; it blends very nicely with this beer. I personally like it both ways depending on my mood.

Drank in a bottle at home. A very heavy, flavorful beer. Chocolate-smell. Have enjoyed many of these in Bruxelles. Prefer it over the blonde.
