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

Az üvegből és a pohárból is kifutó hab, zavaros, borostyán szín. Gabonás, enyhén korianderes és citrusos illat. Enyhén édeskés, malátás, gabonás, korianderes, leheletnyit citrusos íz. Egy kicsit alkoholos. Testes, enyhén szénsavas, enyhén keserű. Finom íze van, de nem tetszik az alkoholossága.

330 ml bottle. 2023 vintage. Replacing 2010 review. Pours an orange/brown with light head. Aromas of toffee, oak, dark fruit, subtle woody red wine and soft wheaty malt. Flavors follow same with a little more wine sweetness. Very nice balance without the balsamic vinegar notes of many old brune. Very good.

330 ml bottle. Pours a dull copper color with moderate foamy head. Aromas of dried fruit, apple pie including the spice, and bready malts. Flavors follow same. Some oxidation showing the age, but otherwise very enjoyable.
