My wife just brought home a cheese that looks like brie.  It has the hard white crusty exterior and the soft, creamy interior.  It looks like brie  but it has a gamier flavor . . fuller and sharper.  The label said it was from England.  I  know my English Grandfather loved Limburger Cheese . . . I've never had Limburger but I'm wondering . . . could this stuff be Limburger, or a type of Limburger?   Thanks for any feedback.

Well, since no one has responded to this . . . I went to Google Images and looked up images of Limburger cheese . . . and yes indeed much of the stuff does indeed look like Brie . . . No one wated to tell me so I just looked it up myself.  Hard white crusty stuff on the outside and soft creamy interior . . shaped in a circle.  Now my only question is this.  How does the taste of Limburger compare to Brie?  Is it fuller, riper, sharper?  I would really like some feedback from someone with some experience here.  Thanks.

Wish I could have help you but I have never seen Limburger out of the wrapping so I hvae no idea. I know it smelled really stron even under the foil and plastic wrap so I didn't buy it.
