The husband of the Femme Fatale, an ‘irresistible’ lovely dark beer wherein not less than 5 kinds of malt are used. The beautiful foam lingers towards caramel with a light hint at hops. The malty flavour evolves into fine bitterness that lingers on nicely. EBC 115.

330ml bottle [the name says it all: from a trade with Bartlebier, merci beaucoup !]. Barely clear, chestnut colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting and lacing, off-white head. Sweet-ish, nuttily and minimally bready malty aroma, fruity hints of red berries. Taste is minimally dry, nuttily malty, leafy hoppy, almost woody, diluted residual sweetness; minimally watery.

Bruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is licht bitter hoppig en fris fruitig met iets van karamel en bessen.

(Bottle, 0,33 l, at Viisi Penniä, 20150220) The beer poured dark brown and rather clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had kandi sugar, berries and sourness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, earth, berries, sourness and bitterness. Aftertaste was tart and bitter. A somewhat contaminated dubbel.

Bottle Pours dark brown , with a red glow . Small white head. Smell is rather sweet, buttery grains , slightly earthy , leaves . Taste is spiced, bitter, earth , very light ( wattery - not used to this in the de leite beers ) . Carbonation is very fine but perhaps a tad too much . Think this could make a good base for an ’imperial version ’ , but this is just too damn wattery for me ... As usual with the de leite beers, the label is just so damn ugly and bad , you are always surprised by the fact that the beer doesnt suck . Yet I must day I liked the other ones of this brewery more ...

Bottle, 33cl ’Brouwer op bezoek, Gentse Biervereniging’. Dark brown colour, beige foam. Medium carbonation. Aroma of dark fruit and caramel, also some spices. Medium sweet, medium bitter. Not very well balanced. Ok, nothing special.

33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Willems. Bottled on 26/03/2014. Furniture / wood brown, big creamy tanned head. Heavy liquorish smell, furniture, polish & lots of leaves, eh. Bitter leaves, allspice, light anis, liquorish, varnish, furniture, polish taste, mineral feel to it. Mineral, faint metallic, touch fizzy body. Okay but far from top in the executed style, there are a lot of middling beers like this in Belgium & I expected something better from De Leite. I’m used to much better from them.

De Leite’s second, with yellowish white foam and deep mahogany colour, misty. Aroma of caramel, bayleaf, hazelnuts, figues, liquorice; taste soft dried fruitiness (dates, raisins), nutty maltiness with some caramel, rather flat carbonation, thinnish mouthfeel, mildly bitterish finish with a hint of coffee-liked roastedness. Not too impressive but a decent dubbel nonetheless.
