Brasserie de la Senne - Schieve X-mas - 8% - 33cl - Bte
Description
As you know, we like to test the limits while developing a Christmas beer. For the Schieve X-Mas we have been playing with the characteristics of the style, but without the typical syrupy and heavily spiced features. The foam of the Schieve X-Mas is beige and dense. Its color is copper, with appetizing red highlights. Its aroma immediately presents a nice balance between malt and hops. On the palate, you’ll find delicious flavors of caramel, biscuit, and pudding, complemented by notes of candied fruits, mandarin, bitter orange, and licorice (all this without using a single gram of spices or fruits!). It has a beautiful bitterness that lingers in the mouth, with a dry and light finish. The beer is warming, but not overly boozy.
Brussels, Région de Bruxelles-Capitale - Belgium The beers of Brasserie de la Senne are produced by two passionate brewers from Brussels: Yvan De Baets and Bernard Leboucq. They work in a small brewery honouring the traditional ways of brewing beer: unfiltered, unpasteurized, free of any additives and using only the finest raw materials of the highest quality. Their dedication to uncompromised quality is definitely one of the outstanding characteristics of the brewery. The beers, with their complex flavour and well-distinguished personalities, are true beers of character, made in Brussels.
