Much better and more flavorful than the blonde. I enjoyed this thoroughly. Very fully bodied and some sweetness. Wonderful beer.

Pours brown-red with a thick foam. Trickled toffee on the nose, rhubarb, some bitter berries I couldn’t quite place. The taste adds a note of whiskey, with the alchol coming through in a good way. Extremely rich.

On tap at The Map Room. Pours a dark brown with amber hues and a solid off-white head. Lots of dark fruits and spices but nothing that makes this one remarkable.

Looks like a dubbel, but lacks aroma, flavour, character, any of the qualities I expected from this style. Of course - it’s a factory beer made with corn, no secondary fermentation, with all the money saved pumped into packaging and advertising. Wonderful bottle & label imagery, wonderful glass, wonderful domination of all the cafes in my home town, making sure they exclude any other beers which could shame it by comparison. Coloured sugar water for the unquestioning masses.

Brun øl..... Har megen kulsyre. Syrlig, karamelagtig og let bitter smag. Varm eftersmag.

Not quite as viually stunning as its cousin Leffe Blond, but still quite nice. poured a nice deep brown with a thick white head. Aroma of some roasted nuts and carmels. Taste has a hint of sweetness with carmels and toffee, but a hit of hops throughout it. A very smooth drinking beer and great when you don’t want the heavy sweetness of the Blond, but you aren’t looking for something too bitter.

Dark brown colour with a thick firm head. Aroma of roasted malt, fruits, sweet coffee and chocolate. Medium bodied. Finishes well.

Pours a deep brown, white bubbly head, dies slowly, some lace. Malty, slightly sweet, some alcohol. Not too heavy, malt carries through, alcohol more evident in the taste. Finish is long, quite bitter.
