2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Poured into the well known Leffe goblet. Amber coloured with an off white head on top. Aroma has alcohol and some maltiness, accompanied by some cloves and plums. Flavour is bitter sweet and nothing too special.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Malzig-frischer Antrunk, der mit der Zeit richtig schwerfällig wird. Ein leichtes Kräuteraroma ist ab dem Mittelteil erkannbar, wirkt aber unangemessen mild neben dem mitlerweile dunklen und klebirgen Malzteil und kann sich daher logischerweise nicht durchsetzen. Dazu kommt eine besonders im Nachgeschmack deutlich erkennbare Alkoholnote, die den feinen Kräuterton endgültig eliminiert. Zwischendurch erscheinen immer wieder herbe und bittere Töne, die sich gut in das sonst grobe Bier einfügen.

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
A clear red/brown colored beer, with a thick off white head. The aroma malty with red fruits and hints of alcohol. The taste is malty with fruits and tonsel, some spices. The aftertaste is a little bitter moving to sweet.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Beautiful red brown colour, white head. Aroma of caramel, red fruits, some malt. Flavour sweet, dark red fruits, caramel, candy sugar. Distinct alcohol notes. The fine, bitter hops flavours the label promises are virtually non-existent. Rather OK, but too sweet.

3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Deep reddish caramel and an enormous fluffy white head, so good appearance marks. Aromas of astringency, caramel, raspberries, nuts, vanilla, and yet more berrifruit. Challenging aromas. There’s a lot to wade through (which I’ll do quite happily).
The first taste is one of intrigue. There’s a sourness and berry acidity and then maltiness comes through and it becomes soft and creamy, spicy and a little sweet. I rather like this, biut then I haven’t found too many Belgians I don’t like.
