Well mature bottle. Dark amber color; creamy giant head. Some malt, caramel, spices and grass in the nose; malt, caramel, honey and spices in the flavor; the taste is also completed by a correct bitterness; hides well the alcohol content. Bitter long final.

In my early years I used to consider it my favourite one. Actually it's too poor in character and originality; but it's solidity pushes it to be the best among the Leffe.

Filtered reddish-brown with a thin head. 7-up aroma with light caramel but more attractive than that probably sounds. Somewhat chewy caramel taste with sweet pear and guava fruitiness. Unusual, in part because it was built to be filtered. It offers decent complexity and range and its actually somewhat enjoyable.

(Bottle, BB 09/03/08) Pours a burgundy body with a spare beige head. Aroma of raisins, vinous, caramel, and biscuit. Flavor of dark fruit, caramel, and light tobacco with a dry finish.

Bottle. Reddish brown, some berry fruit some flral hop and yeastiness, malt fruit but ultimately not enough to keep you interested and is ultimately a bit tame
