Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark Oct 15, 2005 33 cl bottle. No yeast in bottom. Brown colour with a dense whte head. Complex aroma of dried fruit and yeast. Very smooth flavour of spice and yeast. Have a little bitter finish. Not a great abbey beer, but okey. sunevdj (1765), Copenhagen OE, Denmark Oct 9, 2005 Updated: Dec 10, 2005Pours dark brown with a tanned head. Nice lacing. High sweetness. Aromas of yeast, malt, brown sugar and banana and some hops. Light, short bitter finish. Medium bodied. A mild brew. Not my favorite Leffe. Bart (1625), Vosselaar, Belgium Oct 7, 2005 Bottle, 75 cl, Brown, white head. Rather sweet roasted aroma. Taste is bitter,some sweetness. Bitterness in the finish OlivierMTL (712), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 4, 2005 Couleur brune aux reflets rouge foncés, presque opaque. Grande quantité de mousse beige pale se résumant à laisser une fine couche sur le dessus du liquide. Arômes métallique laissant une faible place au profil chocolaté des malts. Flaveurs légèrement oxydées sous lesquelles se dissimule malt sucré apportant des saveurs de noix et de guimauves. Finale légèrement amère et métallique témoignant plus tard de la présence d’alcool sur des notes anisées. Carbonatation très piquante et active, corps d’épaisseur semi mince. Bouteille à consommer de préférence avant 7 Février 2006. La version en fût est potentiellement supérieure. Veer (355), Landskrona, Sweden Sep 28, 2005 Updated: Nov 24, 2006Brown with beige-white head.
Smells of malt, yeast (the wonderful Leffe yeast), hops, sweet berryish.
Taste is moderately sweet, malty, good bitterness.
Lovely mouthfeel, if you try really hard, you can imagine that when it hits the rearer part of the tongue, it’s a Rochefort 10. gatorbeer (148), Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, USA Sep 27, 2005 Updated: Dec 3, 2005Had on tap at Brickskellar in DC. Pours dark with small cramy head. Hoppy and sweet. With hints of caramel and licorice. KarmanGhia (276), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 23, 2005 This brew pours dark brown with a large offwhite head. It’s primary taste is of a sort of beat root sweetness with hints of wood and syrup. There’s a strong stickiness that remains on the tongue after the glass. wunderbier (1264), Tampere, Finland Sep 18, 2005 Deep brown with hints of maroon. Medium, creamy, off-white head. Very spicy: pepper, menthol, pumpernickel, rye, anise. Moderately sweet, lightly acidic flavor. Moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter finish. Just too spicy and not sweet enough to really do it for me. Medium-full body, watery texture, fizzy carbonation.
