This beer has a generous head compact and firm. Its slightly brown colour is the result of the roasted barley. It has a dark ruby brown colour and a very intense aroma. The aromatic herbs and spices used greatly enhance its delicious smell. This beer is full-bodied with a smoothness that is the result of the synergy of caramelized malts, carefully controlled fermentation and long cold storage. St-Feuillien Cuvee de Noel has a very subtle bitterness that is the dominant flavor in this harmonious ale that strikes a perfect balance between all the different ingredients.

0.75 l bottle thanks to Lukica, unclear amber, small off-white head. Aroma is cherry, spice such as black pepper, anise, some ethanol, hint of molasses. Sweet, candy, toffee and spice. Some warmth, alcohol hidden in the flavour. Smooth, lacks richness and complexity, anise prevails in the rather sweet finish.

750 ml bottle. Sampled Dec 2025. Pours a deep dark reddish brown with moderate head. Aromas of candi sugar, dark fruit, toffee, a bit of minerals, a bit of Christmas spice and toasty, almost bready malts. Flavors of sweet dark fruit, Christmas cake, a bit of additional Christmas spice and bready malts. Fruitier and sweeter than previous years. Excellent.

Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal fruttato. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è apprezzabile. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. Il dolce è pesante. L'amaro è nella media. La forza gustativa è elevata e la permanenza è buona. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è intenso. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, crosta di panettone, frutta secca, agrumi, arancia rossa, mandarino, mela, frutta passita, mandorla fresca, ciliegia e chiodi di garofano.

Really a typical belgian strong. Lots of ripe fruit, big maltiness, yeasty and bready, the crarbonation was a little over the top, and a touch of a metallic finish. Quite refrsshing though, and a little too easy drinking for the alcohol content. Solid beer.

Pours a deep dark brown with a creamy head. Spicy aroma of dark malts, bread, caramel, roasted nuts, some anise and many more spices. Medium sweetness and lively carbonation. Pretty tasty winter brew.
