Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #138 -- Leffe Brune / Bruin / Brown
Leffe Brune / Bruin / Brown has three monikers, but only a one-dimensional flavor. A little better than their Blonde, but it's way too sweet to enjoy for very long.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #137 -- Leffe Blonde
Leffe Blonde, straddles the line between traditional Belgian ale (abbey beer) and mass-market beer (it's owned by AB InBev). It's not unpleasant; however, it doesn't really impress me.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #135 -- St-Feuillien Brune
St-Feuillien Brune is a rich, toasty, and spicy Belgian dubbel. At 8.5%, it is really approaching the strength and character of a tripel.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #134 -- St-Feuillien Blonde
St-Feuillien Blonde has a big floral and yeasty aroma. Tasty and warming, it is similar to Duvel but lacks the complexity of that classic beer.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #127 -- Nagahama Imperial Stout (Beer Review #127)
Nagahama Imperial Stout has a mild aroma and full flavors. Yet it is slightly light bodied for the style and does not impress the palate the way a great imperial stout should. Still, it is a very drinkable and tasty beer.

Beering in Mind YouTube Channel Beer Review #113 -- Kizakura Camphor Pale Ale
Kizakura Camphor Pale Ale does not have camphor in it. It does, however, have a picture of a camphor flower on the can. Why? Well, apparently it uses 10% barley from Saga prefecture, and camphor is the official flower of that prefecture.... Uh-huh.....
