Leffe Brune

Brewed by InBev Belgium
Style: Abbey Dubbel
Leuven, Belgium

From bottle, Spicy rich aroma. Great appearance, deep brown with almost a perfect off white dough head. Nice texture, spicy but also has a wood traditional feel. Hops, fruit and malt with a great finish. I really enjoyed this brew. Great look, great taste and a great finish.

330ml brown bottle. Poured dark brown with ruby highlights. Thick smooth tan head. Malty spicy aroma. Flavour included yeast, caramel and roasted malts.

0,33 l bottle. Dark red-copper-brown color, a small, but nice head with roasted nose. The flavour is roasted too with some fruty and sweetness. A little bit watery texture. Some coffe in the aftartaste. Good stuff from a mass-producer :)

Sweet malt hop aroma. Coca-cola colour with reasonable head. Sweet burnt malt flavour. Smooth palate.

Draft. Killer lacing from this deep reddish-brown dubbel. Lots of hoppy elements to the nose, caramel, and a tangerine fruitiness. Flavors are sweeter, but bear out the promise of the musty yeasts. Not too big and not too long, but flavorful and rich.

330 ml bottle. poured brown (when held against light its actually very dark red) with a medium off white head. lots of carbonation. subdued aromas of yeast, barley, malt and some dark fruit. the aromas were subtle and had to be coaxed out off the glass as the beer warmed. flavours were similar. lots of good stuff in there but very thin with no complexity. overall it was ok but there is much better out there. maybe a good way to introduce someone to the style.

Bottle: Rubi with a heavy off white head, nice lace sticks to the glass. Smokiness, molasses and brown sugar in the taste, distinct yeast presence. Alcohol is a bit too obvious, finish is flat and dull.

Dark to tan brown. Big belgian aroma of fruits and spice. Once in the mouth, is similar to many browns (dubbels), mildly sweet, a little roasted, and somewhat watery. Feels like its missing something. Sweetness goes unbalanced and bothers the palate.
