3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from a Carrefour in Ypres after another, purchased in a SPAR in Leuven the day before died in an accident (that I didn’t cause :P). Anyway, clear golden body, nice, slightly off white head. Typical Leffe sweet malty nose with spice and candied orange peel. Sweeter than average, kinda messy, malt dominated, strange herbal/vegetable dry notes, perfumey spicy notes too. The spicines is a bit too present and extends into the aftertaste. More warming than it has any right to be. Still, not really that bad a beer (though hardly a good Belgian).
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
330 ml bottle. Good looking reddish brown body with a big off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel, brown sugar and fruit. Flavor is sweet malty, caramel, slightly roasted sugar, spices, fruit, some bitterness and alcohol. It’s quite complex but easy to drink. Excellent balance between sweetness, bitterness and alcohol with a pleasant finish.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
(0.33 l bottle) Deep amber colour and clear. Malts in nose. Watery palate. Some malts in taste. Hints of raisin. Little bitterness in aftertaste. Somewhat boring.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Thought the aroma was of cherry cinnamon and malt,reddy colour and a good head with lacing, more fruit on the taste and and a chalky mouthfeel.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: MAY 14, 2007 33cl Bottle from Sainsburys. Reddish chestnut with a thick white head; rich aroma of candied fruit, alcohol and malt; nutty and caramel flavours, with a long fruity and slightly bitter finish; alcohol rather too obvious for my taste.
