An all-around great beer. Pours a dark, thick brown with a sizable tannish head. A malty aroma is balanced with a nice blend of spice (my comrade and I couldn’t single out any specific kind), both of which are prevalent in the flavor, along with maple, tannin, and berry fruit. Thick-bodied, ideally for the colder months, but, as we found, it can also be enjoyed during the summer. Good stuff.

Dark brown colour with a huge, frothy head. Caramel aroma with spices and sandalwood. Wonderful, rich taste of caramel,fruit cake and licorice. A touch of dryness at the end exactly balances the sweetness. Better than the Leffe blond.

Very nice dark beer, long lasting creamy head. Malty nose, with scent of caramel. Very gentle palate, alcohol perfectly hidden. Perfectly composed beer, best one available commercially IMO

Another excellent beer by Leffe. Pours dark dark brown with a cloudy head. Goes down very smooth and has nice burnt flavors on the palete. An excellent beer and worth a try if you can find it.

0,33 l bottle. Dark brown color. Nice beer with a complex, fruity taste. Aromas mostly of roasted malt, licorice and various fruits (cherries, raspberries, apples). Very sweet aftertaste. Nothing too special compared to similar Belgian beers, I guess, but still a very good beer.

On tap. The beer has a light fluffy head. Smooth with a rich flavor but not over-powering. A very drinkable beer that has kept me satisfied.

EFC1878 (315) - Manchester, Greater Manchester, ENGLAND - OCT 1, 2008
Bottle. Deep ruby/brown in colour with lively tan head. Rich, fruity, chocolate malt aroma with orange in the background. Flavour is more chocolate leading to a nice, surprising dry finish. Rich body. Wonderfully balanced beer.

IPAsavedMYlife (295) - St. Petersburg, Florida, USA - OCT 31, 2011
Pours nice, good amount of almost white head with medium creamyness. Medium retention. Dark brown with a red hue when held up to the light. More Fragrant than most, but less than some. Banana, ripe fruit, sweetness and mild pepper all mix together for a complex aroma. Lots of the same characteristics that are true to style. Moutfeel is light. Flavor is slightly washed out in this one. It has a nice breadyness, with gumdrop flavors. Semi sweet finish with some spicy notes and lingering carbonation flavor with dry hop character. Excellent for the price.
