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.

330ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a reddish-brown with a moderate sized off white to beige head with lots of staying power. Aroma has a deep malt and yeast character which includes a nice fruitiness that compliments. Taste has a great depth and complexity to it being malty, spice, toffee, red wine, dark fruits, cherry, liquorice, bitter and boozy finish. Medium to full bodied, smooth, slightly syrupy, fine carbonation. Stunning, one of the best beers I have ever had.

(Bottle, 0.33 l, at Tuulensuu, 20241230) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was small and white. Aroma had vanilla, vinous notes, white wine, spiciness, honey and mildly earth. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, vinous notes, vanilla, malts, spiciness, wood and bitterness. Aftertaste had wood, spicy notes and bitterness. Delicious and balanced. The barrel effects were subtle enough and the high ABV remained hidden.
