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.

Thuis uit een (leuk, apart) flesje. Bijna zwart van kleur, zeer mooi lichtbruin schuim. Redelijk volle smaak, maar gezien de abv en het goede uiterlijk, toch iets meer van verwacht. Maar evengoed lekker.

Bottle as Baladin Leon, BB 03/2019. Almost clear dark brown color, short frothy head. Aroma of grainy and worty malt, bit spicy, bit hay, butterscotch, milk chocolate. Some strange grassy bitterness, caramel sweetness and some spicy and nutty notes. I dont know what to think of this beer. On one hand it feels like a strong belgian dubbel, but sometimes also like a hoppy keller, and the third time the spices take over.

Vom Fass im Stone Brewing Berlin 2017-03 getrunken.Dieses rotkupferne Bier erinnert mich sehr an ein Abbey Triple. Nicht schlecht, aber auch nichts besonderes. Gut trinkbar!
