Grimbergen bruin 6.5°-1/3L

Ref: BB20582

Brewed by Alken-Maes for the Grimbergen abbey, this is a double dark beer, whose appearance and taste are a close approximation of an English brown ale. Rich ruby-brown colour, with an aroma comprising equal proportions of hops and something like fermenting marrow. It is sweet, lively on the tongue and easier to drink than its strength would suggest (which is considerably in excess of your average brown ale). The aftertaste is a lingering, mild malty flavour.
Clear dark ruby, almost a burgundy appearance, with a large-bubbled sandy head which subsides into a frothy layer with a few bubbles peaking through. Nose has some gingerbread spiced cherries, nice roasted strawberries and cherries in the flavor as well, with a big emphasis on apple cider. Peppy finish, finishes like apple juice.

Grimbergen Optimo 10°-1/3L

Ref: BB20606

This is a strong abbey-style beer from the Grimbergen monastery, brewed as an Easter ale but available all year. It has a rich, heavy, complex nose with malt, black treacle, petroleum, and possibly pepper. Flavour is quite sweet, chewy, cloying and puddingy, but the sweetness is counteracted by a malty, treacley bitterness. There is a fruity, port-like quality to the palate too, along with a cheesiness towards the finish, all of which suggests that this would make a good after-dinner beer.
Deep amber/chestnut colour, head that forms with much noise and effort but evaporates almost instantly. Moderate condition. Caramel, toffee, licorice and burnt brown sugar in the nose, with a suggestion of raspberry as it warms (Like a Liefmans Frambozen). Quite thin in the mouth, you seem to drink it by osmosis rather than swallowing. Hints of malt whisky, raisins and caramel but all quite delicate and flleeting. More whisky malt in the finish with alcohol coming to the fore and a hint of bitterness towards the end.

Leffe bruin 6.5°-1/3L

Ref: BB20060

Leffe Brown is a full-bodied and rather fruity abbey beer. The flavour goes from a fruity sweetness to toffee or caramel with some roasted coffee notes, finishing with an oaky dryness. It should always be served in its stylish Leffe chalice-type glass.
A traditional Belgian abbey beer with a deep brown colour and a full, sweet and fruity aroma.
An all-around great beer. Pours a dark, thick brown with a sizable tannish head. A malty aroma is balanced with a nice blend of spice (my comrade and I couldn’t single out any specific kind), both of which are prevalent in the flavor, along with maple, tannin, and berry fruit. Thick-bodied, ideally for the colder months, but, as we found, it can also be enjoyed during the summer. Good stuff.

It's strong, it's fruity, it's heavy, oh it's another Leffe. An excellent strong Ale with a not-too-sweet fruity palate combined with some bitterness. A nice dark amber body with a smooth head. Be sure to get it in one of those one liter steins. Thumbs up!
