Tachnical sheet LEÖN Bear : BELGIAN STRONG DARK ALE

With its classic brown color, reminiscent of a monk’s tunic, Leön has a nice thick and persistent, hazelnut-colored head. 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 as the beer becomes warmer.

The heat of its 9% alcohol content immediately hits the palate, with a touch of sour cherries in brandy. This is quickly replaced by the taste of roasted cereals, which gently fill the mouth with notes of chocolate, cocoa beans and coffee. A rather sweet beer with a strong body, complex but very enjoyable.

Ingredients: Water, barley malt, hops, sugar, yeast.

Service Temperature: 10-12 °C

Pairings: Flavorsome meat dishes, such as stews, structured dishes, thick soups with pulses and vegetables, blue cheese, chocolate desserts or dry cakes.

Baladin is partner of the guide “I Formaggi d’Italia” ( - Cheese of Italy) published by “Le Guide de l’Espresso”. You are going to find for each of 91 reviewed cheese a pairing with our beer.

LEÖN history: To celebrate Christmas 1988, master Teo decides to create a Christmas beer, following the beer-making tradition. Once again taking inspiration from the Belgian tradition, he comes up with Nöel: a dark, sweet, full-bodied beer which fits perfectly with the spirit of Christmas beer toasts.

Over time he realizes, however, that the name of this beer has become a problem when creating other thematic versions - available all year long - such as Nöel Chocolat, Nöel Cafè. It is confusing for customers, and tends to limit sales to the festive season.

With a twist, Teo decides to change the name to reverse the destiny of this beer. The operative word here being: reverse. By reversing the name Nöel, here comes Leön, which every Christmas is accompanied by a special version carrying the original name.

Technical features Mini Teku Glass: 

At the dawn of 2006, “TeKu” was created. Its name is the rather straightforward acronym of Teo and Kuaska. Manufactured by our friends at “Rastal” – an industry-leading company – and produced in Italy, TeKu is considered THE official Italian glass to taste beers, enthusiastically received abroad by important craft breweries. Its particular shape enhances their aromas and tastes and is therefore a valuable companion for brewers, beer tasters, or simply beer lovers.

From 2014 alongside the TEKU, with capacity 42,5cl (14,2 US fl.oz) was introduced the "Mini-TEKU" with similar functional characteristics and design but with smaller dimensions and with capacity of 33cl (11,2 US fl.oz).  

SIZES: Ø 88,0 mmH, 186,0 mm
