Leffe Vieille Cuvée
The authentic Belgian abbey beer: Leffe Vieille Cuvee has a creamy and very aromatic taste.

color rayando el negro. 8.5 grados. me parece la tipica cerveza belga similar a las otras leffe 'oscuras' que conozco. muy dulce, con caramelo, nada amarga.
Cerveza de tonos oscuros con sabor dulce y a madera, ligeramente alcohólica y de amargor medio-bajo
Botella 0,33l Color cobrizo con espuma de color beige,alta, fina, resistente.Aroma-citrico, frutas, banana,manzana.Sabor dulce suave, frutas, citrico.Amargor muy fino, notable alcohol
Лучший Эль из серии Leffe. Чувствуются ягоды во вкусе. Алкоголь практически не ощущается .
0.33 l bottle @ Mijas, purchased in a Carrefour. Pours dark copper with white head. Pretty average Belgian ale, fruity-yeasty, but that' it. Leaves warm mouthfeel, has light to medium body and soft carbonation.
Dégustée en hiver 2007-2008 au Saint-Bock (De mes notes papiers). .
Not your summer beer. Full bodied Belgian with a solid structure, licorice notes in the beginning that holds until the end. Dark, plum like looks with excellent lace and head. An alcoholic kick that, even at 8.2, seems too much to me. But hey, that's just me.
Old rating rerated 29.07.2017, 0,33l bottle @ hotel room in Madeira:
Nice fizzy-creamy mediumlasting head. Aroma is slightly sweet mineraly, caramel malts, broth, minerals, yeast, grass, raisins, fruit stones, apple cores, almonds. Taste is dry mineraly, weeds, yeast, minerals, alcohol, burnt caramel, grass, fruit stones, broth, bark, raisins. Medium bitterness, slightly watery and harsh mineraly mouthfeel. Fair enough.
Aroma: very sweet, raisin, fruity
Appearance: brown, clear, frothy, tan foam, two fingers head
Taste: medium sweetness, lightly bitter, fruity, toasty
Palate: medium body, creamy, average carbonation,
Birra dal colore ambrato carico. Schiuma bianco sporco, fine e persistente. Al naso caramello, toffe e spezie. Al palato mediamente corposa con note di caramello, spezie, uvetta e toffee. Nel finale rimane lievemente amara. Una buona birra.
33cl BLSampler 2017. - Sugar-coated pears and apple stew soak in candysugared barley water, industrial honey. Licks of vanilla, cinnamon, clove, banana nudge East towards DunkelWeizenbock raisin-shake before falling flat on their overcooked watery metal ass. Oldschool macro Belgian and Louis Pasteur-cooked, turning supermarket clients slowly into alcoholic diabetics.
Aroma: Herbs with toasted cereal notes.
Appearance: Dark amber color with clear sparkling liquid and white frothy head.
Taste: Medium sweetness with light sour notes.
Palate: Medium body with creamy texture an average carbonation. Sweet and bitter finish and wood touches.
Overall: Nicely soft for a belgian strong ale, good memory on the mouth but with alcoholic notes.
330ml bottle at the Black Horse, Moreton Morrell. Bright amber with a thin, slightly yellow head. Sweet sugary hay aroma, with a touch of crisp bacon and banana. Flavour is similar to the aroma, but weaker, with weak grainy haylage and a touch of tin.
0.33 bottle. Clear amber, long lasting white head. Aroma: slightly fruity, slightly sweet maltiness, but just a hint. Has some of that belgian characteristic, that sweet, spicy, fruity grain. Light-medium body, medium carbonation. Taste is sweet and spicy, coupled with a hint of bitterness. Flavors: candy, dried sweet fruits, caramel. Not exactly my cup of tea, but works okay.
Tasted on 22.09.16. Very pleasant sweet aroma of red fruits with addition of caramel maltiness. Medium and durable off-white head disappearing to solid layer. Clear amber colour. Very pleasant taste of malty sweetness, red fruits, spices and a bit of alcohol but very well hidden.
Bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with a fluffy white head, aroma is hoppy and malty, the taste is medium bitterness with with a strong malt influence with a dry bitter finish.
Opaque deep amber. Moderate white head. Aroma: toffee, spicy yeast. Esters. Dried fruit. Medium body. Surprisingly dry taste. Nutty. Toffee. Yeasty. Light bitterness. Good

Flaska från belgiuminabox. Mörkt bärnstensfärgad, klar, medelhögt krämigt skum. Kryddig doft med söt malt, karamell. Stilmässig åt amberhållet med en kryddig och lite träig eftersmak, plus alkoholburna lite fruktiga och blommiga estrar. Ok
Decent maltiness with some caramel, dried fruits, dark fruits, berries, bit spicy yeastiness. Light sweetness with moderate to light bitterness. Decent

Very different from Leffe’s other Beers.
It almost reminded me of a franconian Lager at times.
A good, somewhat unique Belgian Dark Ale
Cerveza color café claro con corona de espuma de baja retención. Aromas predominante a dulce, algunas frutas secas y especias. Al paladar predomina el sabor dulce y toques frutales.
Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso si riconosce nello speziato. L’intensità olfattiva è elevata e la persistenza olfattiva è apprezzabile. Il cappello di abbondante schiuma ha una buona tenuta, dalla lunga persistenza e finisce col bicchiere che si contorna di un bel pizzo. La grandezza delle bollicine è media. La carbonazione è abbondante. L’aspetto del liquido è velato. Il perlage è formato da bollicine medio-fini. La carbonazione è con risalita media. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato e consistente. La struttura è di spessore. Il dolce è medio e l’amaro è medio con buon equilibrio tra il malto ed il luppolo. L’intensità gustativa è elevata e la persistenza gustativa è buona. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono lunghe. Il finale è pulito e complesso. Il retrogusto è intenso. Sul palato si depositano percezioni di caramello, miele, nocciola e frutta secca.
Bottle - aroma is sweet and malty. Pours a clear dark amber and big bubble short lived head. Taste is smooth but a bit nondescript except the alcohol. No rough edges, no bitterness. Alcohol definititely noticeable.
Red fruit, caramel, a touch of spice and yeast, a little alcohol. Good one.

Bottle 0,33 @ Port Artur, Pärnu.
Amber color with nice yellow head. Aroma: sweet, yeasty, spicy, caramel. Taste: sweet, sourish, caramel, slightly bitter finish. Medium body. ABV well hidden.
33cl bottle from some bottle shop in Tallinn. Pours clear caramel coloured with a modest, white head. Caramelly and malty aroma with notes of dried fruits and hints of wood and spices. Sweet and caramelly with a certain balance - still too sweet for my taste, and not too interesting. Drinkable and fairly enjoyable.
Bottle. Dark amber with large head. Some fruity, yeasty, nutty. Strong with alcohol. Fizzy.

medium aroma: a predominant earthy flower and old wooden cask with a lot of cognac and some yeasts, fermented fruits with some alcohol, flowers, some wheat malt and fresh cereals.
medium taste, with an alcoholic intensity in the final: specifically belgian, well fermented fruits with alcohol from the beginning (tries to be a dirty cognac or a fruity rum), then some flowers, honey and raisins, white bread with alcohol, fresh cereals; an alcoholic final, with some flowers and fruits, belgian yeasts. good!
