With its classic brown color, reminiscent of a monk’s tunic, Leön has a nice thick and persistent, hazelnut-colored head. At first smell, the fruity scent of fruit cooked in a wood oven fills the nose. Then, coffee aromas blend with woody nuances, which turn into fuller notes of chocolate as the beer becomes warmer. The heat of its 9% alcohol content immediately hits the palate, with a touch of sour cherries in brandy. This is quickly replaced by the taste of roasted cereals, which gently fill the mouth with notes of chocolate, cocoa beans and coffee. A rather sweet beer with a strong body, complex but very enjoyable.

500 ml bottle. Aroma of plum, raisin, and dates. Flavor is a exact copy. Mildly sweet finish. Proper Belgian dark ale.

Dark brown colour with thin head. Aroma and flavour are jammy and sweet. Perhaps too sweet. Pleasant mouthfeel. Warming. Touches of tawny Port.

33cl Fles, dank Thijs! Donkerbruine kleur, beige kraag. Licht moutig, melkchocolade, koetjesreep, wat donker fruit, redelijk zoet, lichtbittere finish, heel licht gebrand. Medium body. Degelijk maar niet heel spannend.
