Leffe Brune

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Leuven, Belgium

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is chocalate, sugar, clove. Flavor is similar, with clove and chocolate dominating the flavor. Low carbonation. Fruity taste.

Tap, Brussels. Sweet yeasty aroma, moderate body. Some fruity malts, nice sweet finish. Nothing fancy, but plain good beer.

On tap in a belgian pub in London, UK. Clear brown color. No head. Low carbonation. Fruity taste. Much better than Leffe Blond.

Brown pour with ruby highlights. Small, loud beige head. Carrot cake aroma with a significant alcohol presence. Lots of caramelized sugar flavor, cocoa, light plums. Lively carbonation that adds to a general sense of spiciness. A touch of rum in the finish. A surprising amount of sweetness for a dubbel. Still, it’s generally light on the palate, and clean in a way that feels kind of dessert-like. A beer that seems more than the sum of its components. Individually, no one part blew my socks off. Together, they made a really nice showing. This actually felt like it had some family relation to a weizenbock.

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.
