Bottle from Dranken Vandewoude and drunk with Nelson. Clear cola colour beer lasting beige head. Its a slightly malty low alcohol beer. Not terrible. And if I had to cut down drinking I'd drink this. Not awful not terrible. A bit harmless and a bit of brown malt.

33 cl bottle at Kulminator, Antwerp. One of the few low-alcohol beers they serve. This one is very much like the Leroy Bock, but sweeter. Pours dark amber, almost no head. Aroma is honey, oat, porridge, breakfast cereal. Taste is sweetish, mild but nutritious. So-so.

Thnx to biersmurfke. Pours clear caramelly brown. Small white head. Smell is sweet. Taste is cola-like spices, some sugar. Bit caramel and earhty brown malts. Very sweet ( stuff that reminds of aspartaan or stevia or something) . Very lasting sweetness, but unfortunately, not the good kind...

Leroy’s dark table beer and like most of the beers under this brand, delightfully but hopelessly old-fashioned. Yellowish white, moussy head, clear bronze colour. Light nutty and chocolatey, but primarily caramelly malts in the nose, some artificial sweetness as indicated, reminiscent of blonde sugar of even a hint of cocoa powder, the obvious thin mouthfeel, grassy hop bitterishness in the finish. This brewery seems to specialize in obsolete beer styles and they do a damn good job at it: though very stereotypical, this is one of the most well-balanced brown table beers I tasted so far, only surpassed by some of the blonde or ’triple’ ones from Gigi and Slaghmuylder.

Bottled, as Leroy Mild Bruin. Hazy copper colour, mid sized firm head. Saccharine aroma. Very sweet with light body and clean mouthfeel. Dominated by artificial sweetener. Strange how much less apetizing this is, compared to the blond one.

Sample at SBWF 2012. Clear medium brown with a small head. Very sweet with toffee, syrup and notes of saccrine. Reminded of Swedish "Svagdricka".
