About
Baxbier Brewery werd in 2014 opgericht door wielervrienden Jeroen Bax en Sepp Jansen. Wat uit nieuwsgierigheid thuis in de keuken begon werd al snel veel meer dan dat. Na de succesvolle lancering van inmiddels moderne klassiekers als Koudvuur, Abel’s Ale en natuurlijk de bieren uit de Kon Minder-lijn staat er inmiddels een moderne, eigen brouwerij met proeflokaal aan het water. Ruim 15 mensen werken elke dag hard aan de mooiste bieren, het lekkerste eten en de leukste evenementen. Baxbier staat bekend om zijn liefde voor spelen en experimenteren. Ons motto is niet voor niks: Seriously Playful.

Aroma of roasted malt, smoke, light peat, some liquorice. Flavour is roasty, smoked, light sweet, leading to a light bitter finish. Nice Smoked Porter, very quaffable.

Aroma of sweetish malt, caramel, nuts, herbal notes. Flavour is moderate to medium sweet with a light to moderate bitter finish. Not what I’d hoped for in a Heller Bock, too malty and lacking in fruitiness.

Aroma of malt, hint of fruits, floral notes. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Mild and dull, I’m afraid this is a very pedestrian beer.

Aroma of strong floral notes, light citrus, fruity notes, mild hops. Flavour is light sweet with a moderate bitter finish. Decent but a bit too tame for my taste.

From tap at 6e Noordelijk Kerst- en Winterbierenfestival, Hoogeveen. Aroma is roasted malts, chocolate, creamy, smoke, coffee, some dark fruity notes. Flavour is over moderate sweet. Body is medium to full. Delicate and refined Smoked Porter, much to my liking.

Bottle at De Koffer, Groningen. Aroma is oak, whiskey, red fruits, cherries, dark malt, chocolate, mild smoke, some vanilla. Flavour is about medium sweet. Body is above medium. Very smooth and nicely balanced, not extreme in any way, just rich and well-balanced. Well done Bax.

Bottle at home. Aroma is malt, caramel, coffee, sweet raisins, touch of dark chocolate and nuts. Flavour is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Okay ’coffee Dubbel’, however it’s a lot thinner than what I’d hoped for.

Bottle from Kisjes Slijterijen, Meppel. Aroma is hoppy with strong herbal tea, malt, touch of licorice, more herbal notes, black tea, only a mild touch of fruits. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a harsh unbalanced bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Certainly likeable, I dig me a proper herbal tea IPA, but the harsh unbalanced bitterness leaves something to be desired. Still, enjoyable enough.
