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

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy dark amber/orange coloured winter warmer, an classic you have to drunk once or more times. Pretty taste of caramel, spices and slightly an fruity hints. Quite complex but subtle brew, thats dangerously easy drinking.

Two bottles from 2018 xxx batch consumed Christmas Eve 2023. Poured deep amber, minimal head with lacing on the glass. Slightly bitter with notes of honey, pears, malt and alcohol. Boozy yet smooth with a hoppy aftertaste. Delicious.

(Bottle, 0.33 l - 2022 vintage, at One Pint Pub, 20241227) The beer poured amber and hazy. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had grass, honey, spicy yeast, biscuits and fruitiness. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were grass, honey, spicy yeast, fruitiness, biscuits and bitterness. Aftertaste had spicy yeast, malts and bitterness. Delicious and complex brew. The alcohol warmth was there but remained hidden enough.
