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.

Draught at Fermentoren, Cph., as Baladin Leön. Fruity aroma with dark, dried fruits, caramel and chocolate malts, floral and vinous notes. Taste is sweet. Medium body with a creamy texture and a soft carbonation. Finishes slightly dry with fruity hints, some wooden notes and odd sour cherries. A bit messy in my book.

Deep amber color with a fine off white head that leaves a fine lacing on the glass. Bready, malty, fruity and some spices in the aroma. Medium + body. Tad sweet and a moderate bitterness. Soft carbonation and a bit oily texture. Dried fruits, toffee, bready and a bit spicy flavor. Nice evening sipper. Some alcohol coming up.
