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.

opaque black, HUGE, and i mean HUGE light brown head that lasts forever. Aroma is roasted malt, and lots of it! Super robust, and some hints of coffee, and a slight sour funk, with a touch of alcohol. Flavour is slightly sour, but not over powering, its actually nice. Lots and lots of roasted malty goodness. Again, hints of coffee, and some chocolate, and the alcohol is hidden well in the flavour. Overall a very very nice stout.

dark brown pour with a full beige head. Aroma is a tart cherry/wild raspberry, mixed in with some wood, and funk. Man i love the funk. The flavor is tart, and finishes slightly bitter. More of the tart fruit with some mild malt notes. This is a really nice beer, not what i was expecting. Its like a lambic/saison/belgian strong hybrid.

loads of fruit in the aroma. Citrus, figs, apples, pears, even some pineapple. Flavor was sweet, but a touch sour, with some nice fruity esters in the finish. More ripe fruit, such as apples, and pears come through, and they mix well with the bready maltiness. Great beer.

dark amber color, good white head, great rentention, and lacing. Aroma is full of ripe apples, and plums, and a nice yeastiness with a touch of alcohol. Mouthfeel is velvet, and super smooth. Flavour is very smooth, and silky, almost creamy, with big notes of apple, caramel, plums, and bready yeast. Wow, super nice beer, Cabonation is a little high, but otherwise outstanding.

Wonderful beer. Been a while since I indulged, and I definitely missed out chasing ticks all the time instead of drinking these beers I love. Florals, light lemon and a hint of oak. Clove. Deep golden pour with ok head and lacing. Balance is great. Light sweet finish. Awesome beer. Also best Christmas beer ever. Tap at Churchkey.
