Pairings and dishes

Stews, soups with pulses and vegetables, blue cheese, chocolate desserts

Nose

At first smell, the fruity scent of fruit cooked in a wood oven fills the nose. Then, coffee aromas blend with woody nuances, which turn into fuller notes of chocolate

Taste

The heat of its alcohol content immediately hits the palate, with a touch of sour cherries in brandy, and the taste of roasted cereals, notes of chocolate, cocoa beans and coffee

Remarks

To celebrate Christmas 1998, Master Teo decides to create a Christmas beer. Inspired by the Belgian tradition, he produces Nöel: dark and full-bodied beer that enhances the Christmas brew toasts. But he realizes that the name of the beer itself becomes an obstacle, so he decides to flip the name, creating Leön, to sell it throughout the year.

Aspect

With its classic brown color, reminiscent of a monk’s tunic, Leön has a nice thick and persistent, hazelnut-colored head
