Description
X-brewing staat voor bieren met smaak die de grens opzoeken en er regelmatig overheen gaan. Niet snel zul je horen dat onze bieren mooi uitgebalanceerd of allemansvriendjes zijn. Ongehinderd door geboden over bieren en stijlen brouwen wij over de top en uit balans. Dit wel met eerlijke produkten en zonder toevoeging van smaak- of kleurstoffen. X-brewing: Meer smaak. Beers with an X.

X-brewing gaat een stap groter met een eigen brouwerij. Wij, Eva ten Haaf en Dennis Admiraal, hebben na 3 jaar huurbrouwen een mooie core-range aan bieren bij een groeiend aantal klanten in Nederland staan en gaan nu een stap groter door een eigen brouwerij neer te zetten.

440ml can. Poured a hazy dark brown colour with a thin broken off-white head. The aroma is big salted toffee caramel, malty dough. The flavour is moderate sweet, light liquorice bitter, with a smooth, rich, banana, toffee, warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Murky dark brown with floaters and a beige head. Raspberry aroma. Dark chocolate. Burnt chestnuts. Interesting. Taste is bittersweet with subtle tart undertones. Very nice balance actually. Surprisingly thin body, and the lack of chewiness given the style is the only flaw here. Moderate carbonation. Good.

Dark gold and clear with lasting head. Aroma is a bit grassy as is the taste. Rounded hop bitterness and a background pale malt note. It's ok but nothing more than that. More like a hoppy Pils. A bit thin. Disappointing

Can shared. Brown with tan head. Doesn't look like a stout. Massive burnt peanuts, artificial peanut aroma, alcohol, caramel, sweet blueberries, a hint of banana, bitter chemical notes and burnt things. Over medium sweet and long lasting nasty bitter finish. Over medium bodied. Very weird, also I don't get much banana.
