The monks of Abbaye de Floreffe chose the name Meilleure (The Best) for their strongest brown beer. Its bouquet and its taste are the result of a subtle mixture of special malts, fine hops and delicately added natural flavors.

[2] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer once. (12/27/2006 3:00:01 PM)
"Dark reddish/brown/amberish colour with big fluffy beige head, which sinks to one mediumsized creamy thick head in a few minutes. Aroma is caramel, burn sugar and some malts in it. Flavour is caramel malts, burnt sugar, slight raisins and alcohol. The finish gets grassy and hayish hops. A very good brew. Hides it's ABV very well. "

[3] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer once. (12/18/2006 3:03:51 AM)
"Came in a 8-pack gift set at the SAQ. Pours a real deep brown colour (almost black) with red highlights. The head is big, creamy, tanned, has great retention and leaves good lacing all-around. Highly carbonated. The nose is quite fruity with plum, and has some chocolat and alcohol. Smooth with a mild creamy mouthfeel. The taste is what the aromas give out. Dark fruits, chocolat, but not overall sweet. More on the dry-bitter side with notes of coffee. Nice complexe brew from this brewery that is not known to be like that. "

[4] Review by Phil B from Gatineau, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/16/2006 12:03:31 PM)
"Bottle: Poured a deep burgundy color ale with a super huge off-white foamy head with perfect retention. Aroma of sweet malt with some light spices (which may include some pepper and some anis). Taste is quite sweet probably from the candi sugar with some spices. Hops are clearly quite subtle and even the yeast is subdued (I would have preferred if it could have brought more character to this beer. Body is above average but could be a bit more full. Alcohol is well hidden. Overall, a very good Belgian ale and probably one of the finest product from this brewer."

[5] Review by jonmoore from United Kingdom who has tried this beer once. (6/2/2005 5:50:06 PM)
"Dark reddish brown with enormous, foamy tan head. Different herby, fruity (peaches?), malty aroma. Quite a highly carbonated medium mouthfeel. Chocolatey taste, with plums, malt and caramel. Very well hid alcohol. Well balanced and very drinkable. Good stuff"
