Beers similar to Leffe Brune

Abbaye de Leffe

Brown Ale·Belgium·6.5% ABV·One of 178 Brown Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Leffe Brune's roasted and malty character. Leffe Brune smells roasted and fruity, then turns soft and creamy, with a light, sweet, caramelised taste and just a discreet touch of bitterness. Darkly roasted malt gives this 6.5% abbey beer its deep dark brown colour and full, slightly sweet flavour. In 1952 Father Abbot Nys and brewer Albert Lootvoet decided to revive the abbey's brewing tradition, and a wide range of Leffe beers grew from it.
