St-Feuillien Cuvée de Noël is a Belgian Christmas beer conceived as a delicious interlude at the heart of winter. Brewed by Brasserie Saint-Feuillien according to a recipe created in 1969, it offers speciality beer lovers a broad, warm and deeply festive profile. Its 75 cl bottle is naturally made for sharing, whether opening a seasonal table, extending a conversation by the fire or adding a distinctive touch to a gourmet gift. Beneath its deep ruby-brown colour lies a dark abbey beer that is both rounded and balanced, carried by caramelised malts, roasted barley and a delicately spiced bouquet. The result is a generous tasting experience without heaviness, where malt sweetness meets a delicate bitterness. A full-flavoured cuvée designed to bring the depth of a memorable festive scene to winter moments.

Serving temperature and tips

Serve St-Feuillien Cuvée de Noël between 7 and 8 °C to allow its bouquet to open gradually. This temperature reveals the character of the spices, the depth of the roasted malts and the cuvée’s caramelised notes without losing its freshness. Pour carefully into a suitable glass, preserving its generous head, to admire the richness of its ruby-brown colour. At 9 % alcohol, this tasting beer deserves an unhurried pace, suited to a meal that lingers or a conversation you do not want to interrupt. Its stated shelf life of 36 months gives you the freedom to save it for a special occasion, while bearing in mind that its aromatic qualities are best expressed when served with care.
