Bottle from belgianbeergal. Pours a reddish color with lots of floaters. Aroma is sweet and fruity. The flavor just doesnt live up to its aroma. The flavor is just a tad to weak. Malt, dried fruit, vanilla, spices. Not bad, but underwhelming. Oh well.

Bottle. Reddish brown colour with a medium beige head. Spicy and malty aroma. Falvour is fruity with caramel, spices and sweet malt. Smooth body.

Bottle, Cafe Leffe, Strasbourg. I seem to recall really liking this about 5 years ago, but am now really struggling to see why as this was very undwerwhelming. Pured a reddy brown with a medium off white head. Malty aroma with some fruit and spice. Sweet and malty flavour. Really very average. Thought this had much more character, but it wasn’t evident on this occasion.

(bottle) red-brown-like colour, Fruity aroma, caramel, a bit of spice. I find the taste a little overdone with fruitiness and a little too sweetened, but I’ll sure try it again from time to time

Bottle @ Café Gollem. Amber colour, white head. Malty aroma, caramel, fruits, spice. Flavour is malty sweet, fruity, a bit spicey. Like a strong version of Palm Speciale. Not my style, too many "amber" flavours.

Pours a reddish brown and has a spicy yeastiness. Above average mouthfeel. Satisfying though not exceptional Belgian.

330 ml bottle, bought in shop in Oostende. Brown color, nice off-white head. Aroma is malty with a kind of «oldness», some spices. Flavor is sweet malt and some spices, rustic sourness and fruit. Dry finish. Strange, but interesting beer.
