Description
The founder of the brewery was a doctor in medicine, Louis Nevejan.

We have recently found papers in the archives stating that the first building dates from 1835 AD. Once it was both a brewery and distillery. The founder died in 1882 and the brewery was sold to Alouis Costenoble. The family brewed for three generations until 1980 when the brewery stopped.

Beer brands included COQ PILS OUD BRUIN & COSMOS. In Esen there were six breweries (all small and part-time) and two distilleries. The actual brewer is doing historical research on West-Flanders breweries since 1900 AD, and has got the 'GOLDEN HAMMER' Trophy, a two yearly award for historic research on breweries. This was attributed by vzw 't Hamerken in Bruges on March 27, 2000 AD

33cl bottle from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark, almost black, with plenty of brown foam. Aroma is of licorice, toasty, less roasty instead. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is roasty bitter, with a hint of sweetness in the beginning. Final remains roasty.

330mL bottle at Lambik-O-Droom. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Dark toffee and sweet liquor barrels on the nose. Flavour has dark dried fruits, dark red wine, some dry wood. There's a tartness that I don't love. I think I prefer the regular version.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dull copper color with light head. Beautiful aromas of florals, citrus, Belgian yeast, stoned fruit and toasted malts. Flavors follow same with additional floral honey and a bit of candi sugar. Absolutely beautiful and in perfect balance. The best young Still Nacht I have tried. And really well priced for such a special beer. Extra points…
