Pours deep brown color with fluffy tan head. Quite good lacing. Sweet molasses, burnt sugar with some dark fruits in the aroma. Light and easy, sweet toasted malty mouthfeel. The sugar candy and the toffee flavors are dominating. Sweet slightly roasted finish. Not as complex as many other belgian classics but very delicate.

Brown with large long lasting head with a mix of large and small bubbles. Some lacing. Aroma of malt, yeast and spices. Sweet flavor with lots of caramel. Aftertaste is sweet but the spiciness rounds it of rather well. A bit sweet but still a nice brew.

Sweet and mild with some caramel and liquorice. Reddish malty look. Not the best leffe i have had.

Another really enjoyable beer from Leffe. I don’t think I’ve yet had a beer from them that wasn’t really enjoyable. The beer pours out a chesnut brown color with a nice 2" thick light tan head with generous bubbles. Fantastic lacing was left behind. The rich aroma consisted of roasted malts, caramel, hints of dark fruit and chocolate. The body quite wasn’t what I was hoping for and it wound up being a bit thin. Flavors had some nice notes of raisins, scorched marshmallows, candi sugar and it was nicely balanced by a spicy hop character that was really enjoyable. You have to figure that if these guys have been brewing beer for this long, they’ve got something going for them. World class beer here.

33cl bottle poured into a Rochefort Trappist glass. Dark brown with quickly dissipating one finger tan head. Nose is spicy and roasty. Tastes very malty, lots of hops and some spice. Slight sourness and a bit of carbonation. Nice beer.

Bottle. Pours a brownish amber color. Aroma is pretty earthy of malts and coffe hints, toffee ?. A sweet drink with a bit of yeasty bitterness, an odd combo for me. Pretty complex and thick mouthfeel for the palate. Good brew.
