St Feuillien Cuvée de Noël

Brewed by Brasserie St-Feuillien / Friart
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Le Roeulx, Belgium

Bottle dated 29.11.08. Lasting tan head, light-to-medium body, slightly sweet dark malt flavors, soft mouthfeel. A very drinkable Christmas beer.

Amber color. Only a wisp of bubbles remain resting on top. Aroma is fruity and sweet with some spice. Flavor is fruit with warm spices running through and a slight bitter finish. Light and thin makes for easy drinking.

From bottle. Red amber clear body with a fluffy lasting broken white head. Clove, orange peel, and caramel in the nose. Roasted malts as first approach in the mouth, then moving to spiced plum and figs. A slight bitter finish enhances the flavors. Medium carbonation with a well balanced and smooth body makes it a nice winter beer, together with a little alcoholic touch. A good Xmas beer.

The colour of a 70’s sofa. Or the little cherry red football type buttons on an arran cardigan with elbow patches. I really really like st.feuillen beer. I had a girl who smelled like this and she always did it for me. Pan handle from 20 yards I’m telling ya. I’ve smelled better, there was something under lying that didn’t make it the best smelling beer. Flavour is great. And it IS spelled flavour. It is in our language anyway. Doesn’t taste as great as I bult it up to be but the whole Christmas spice thing isn’t my thing. Still very nice and it will get a strong score, just not getting near the St F blonde or triple. Then again, not much does for me. Nice, will drink again. Come on Ricky Hatton.

From the tap it poured a deep amberish red color with a dense white head. The aroma is filled of dark fruits, cherries, yeast, and some spices. The dark fruits and malts start out with some belgian yeast and spice in the background. It has some sweet flavors from caramel, fruits, and figs. It is all blended nicely with the yeast and spices.The flavor was interesting and different than most christmas beers, but was still good.

drafts @ redlight redlight. Dark fruits, black cherry, fresh figs, with hints of spice. Pours a medium amber with a thick white head. Sweet and malty, caramel, very good belgian yeast flavored spice in the background, very very smooth.

Tap at redlight. Pours deep red into wine glass with small dense head. Dark fruit, cherries and a little yeast in the aroma. Spices and dark fruit are very nice in the taste with a little yeast and sourness. Nice clean finish, smooths as it warms up, becomes more wine like. Only thing bad was an off smell of sweat that became more prominent as the glass warmed, otherwise, good.

Pours a beautiful dark chestnut brown with a thick beige head. Aroma is very powerful noticeable immediately after cork is popped. Strong scent of spices and hers, alcohol, sugar and pepper.Full-bodied with a fizzy carbonation up front. Strong spicy peppery flavor up front balanced out by a malty dry finish. Slight spicy atertaste. Yummy winter beer.
