About
XT Brewing Co is an innovative, independent brewery crafting a wide range of exceptional beers. Our XT beers form the core range of characterful, full flavoured brews and our wild side, Animal Brewing Co, pushes the boundaries with new and exciting one-off specials. The options are as infinite as the natural world.

We designed and installed our 18 barrel brewery during 2011 and brewed the first full scale gyle in November 2011. The equipment was custom built for us in Burton upon Trent.

The brewery is on the beautiful Notley Farm estate on the Oxfordshire Buckinghamshire borders, with far reaching views over the Chiltern hills. We are as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible; recycling nearly all our waste products and our spent raw materials go to local farmers to feed their cattle and pigs.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] An amber pour with a loose white head; aromatic hedgerow hop aroma; oily in the mouth with a strong resinous English hop taste and a malty finish; then a long dry bitter finish with a little caramel and lingering hops. Excellent.

10 Stout from XT Brewing
2 years ago
7.6/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading] Phoenix and Apollo hops according to the pump clip - not sure if they rotate the hops in this. A glossy peaty brown coloured pour with a thin caramel coloured head; aroma of roasted grains and coffee; lactic body with an immediate bitterness from both the dark roast and the hops; then some berry fruit and chocolate in the tail, and a lasting bitterness to finish. A nice stout.
