Description
De naam KOE EN KALF (kortweg KEK) verbindt het verleden van de brouwer als veehouder met de twee zwerfkeien in de buurt van Baars, die in de volksmond Koe en Kalf heten. Op die plaats zou in de Germaanse tijd recht zijn gesproken, al weet niemand of dat een waarheid als een koe is… KOE EN KALF staat garant voor loei- en steengoed bier in verschillende smaken en stijlen, ambachtelijk en met toewijding gebrouwen. Henk de Vries is de brouwer van al dat lekkers en hij heet je van harte welkom op zijn site!

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Malty and resinous aroma with caramel malt, sticky pine resin, some toffee and a little alcohol. Flavour is sweetish with a bitter finish. Body is medium. I dig the resinous hops, some fruitiness would have been nice and it's a bit heavy (abv) for its own good.

Bottle from a local bottle shop. Aroma is roasted malt with espresso, dark chocolate, coffee, hint of chalk. Flavour is fairly bitter with a light sweetness. Medium body. A fine roasty bitter Porter that could have used a bit more body for its 9%.

Fles op vakantie geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een donkerbruin bier met een volle beige schuim. Het heeft een moutige wat caramelachtige geur. De smaak is moutig, caramel achtig en kruidig, drinkt lekker weg.
