About

X-Porter is a classic dark ale from the Netherlands, brewed at a modest 4.5% ABV. The beer follows a tradition established in 18th-century London, when brewers first developed porter using roasted malt and generous hop additions to preserve flavour and prevent spoilage. This porter showcases the hallmarks of the style: roasted malt character with notes of chocolate and coffee. The balance leans toward malt-forward drinking with measured bitterness, making it approachable despite its dark appearance. Brewed by De Proefbrouwerij, a Dutch contract brewery known for careful recipe development, X-Porter delivers straightforward porter character without excess alcohol warmth.
