The 12 (New) Beers of Christmas: X Mas Zinnebir, Brasserie de la Senne (Belgium)

Written By: Dion on 12/22/2013

Very modest aromas that include pear, apple skin, and leafy green hops. On the tongue, the sweet fruit delicacies found in most Belgians take a bit of a back seat. Instead a woody, peppery spice builds with warmth, while chocolate and smoke are found as well. Faint dark fruit sweetness on the finish. While not quite as malty, I see a lot of similarities between this beer and a black IPA.
