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

750ml bottle from Douglas88. Foggy golden pour, airy, frothy, bubbly head. Aroma is tart, fruity, funky. Taste is complex, the wine barrels adding subtle floral notes to the tart, fruity flavors, along with plenty of that funk.

Slightly funky, tart and ripeish fruity with hints of sourness and spiciness, oaky woodiness, honey and vinegary oakiness. A bit messy.

11.2oz bottle. In my top 5 Tripels for sure. Steady white head on top of a murky, orange-tan body. Earthy, flowery aroma, mild esters. Perfect mouthfeel. Amazing balance for the style. Drinks really clean. Phenomenal beer.
