Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

UPDATED: DEC 30, 2005 Pours a dark amber with an off-white somewhat dissappearing head. Some lacing. Sweet and quite dry. Flavors of caramel, malt, prunes and some alcohol. Sharp fruitiness that lingers with the bitter-dry finish.

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

Lovely fruity aromas, but the taste leaves to be disired, too malty and one- dimensional-but in no way bad. Tasty and chewy brew, but in no way complex.

UPDATED: SEP 26, 2005 Copper brown body with thin tan lacing head that rings the glass. Caramel, spice, fruity aroma. Malty spicy caramel cherry flavor with smooth creamy palate.

Bottle, 33cl. Beautiful red beer with a nice white head. Aroma isn’t strong, but it has some fruits and a strong yeastiness. Flavour is quite good, malty and fruity. Alcohol is somewhat apparent, but not overwhelming. Pronounced bitterness in the finish. Probably the best of the Leffe family.

UPDATED: JUN 18, 2006 Deep red, nice head. Smells caramel, malty, fruity, berries, yeast and wellbalanced. It tastes smooth and rich. Not as sweet and malty as I would have preferred it.

UPDATED: APR 27, 2006 A red-brown clear liquid, with a fairly large head that dwindled away to a thin layer and left a small amount of lacing. Smatterings of nuts, pears, and smoky sherry. Slightly bitter aftertaste, although a bit weak on the palate for what is otherwise a complex beer.

Bottle. Nice tan head with good duration. Flavor is fruity and sweet iwth some alcohol.
