I am thinking my skill set is up to tackling a belgian beer at this point...and what better to cut my teeth on that my favorite- Leffe Brune. :rockin:

My love affair with this beer goes back to April 2006 when my WWII re-enactment group hosted veterans from the 101st Airborne for a trip to Holland, Bastogne, and Normandy. While in Bastogne, my buddy hooked me up with Leffe Brune, right off the tap. :mug:

Needless to say, cant get it here in the states. I have found numerous Leffe Blonde recipes, but not for Brune. :mad:

Any help out there?!?!
 
I found this on the web cannot say how accurate it is:

Any updates on this recipe??
is it anything like Leffe Brun?
This is probably my favorite brew on tap at the moment. "Next to Fullers ESB"
I'm thinking of attempting this brew but only if it's very - slightly similar.
