St-Feuillien Brune

◎ Aussehen

A deep ruby-brown hue dominates the glass, conveying the richness of the coloured malts at work. The head is generous and persistent, clinging to the glass in fine lacing. The beer presents with good clarity and a gentle carbonation that supports the visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fruity fermentation esters that sit comfortably atop a base of liquorice and caramel. Dark malt character emerges with subtle cocoa and dried fruit notes—plum and raisin—while a light spice note weaves through the background. The hop character remains restrained, allowing the malt complexity to take centre stage.

◐ Geschmack

The palate is firmly malty, opening with caramel sweetness and dark chocolate depth that flows into mid-palate. Liquorice and raisin notes provide textural interest, while a gentle spice note adds dimension without overwhelming. Bitterness emerges from the interplay of fine hops with the coloured malts, creating a clean bittersweet finish rather than harsh hop bite.

◑ Abgang

The finish is warm and lingering, with residual caramel and chocolate notes persisting on the palate. A drying bittersweet character fades gradually, leaving a clean, malty aftertaste.

Serviertemperatur 10–12°C für das beste Geschmacks- und Aromaprofil.

Das breite Mundstück und der schwere Fuß fördern die Schaumbildung und leiten reiche Aromatik zur Nase. Traditionell für belgische Starkbiere.
