About
Life's too short for boring, middle of the road beers. Craft Brewery Kees! stands for tasty, fruity, hoppy flavours and strong dark ales, but there'll always be that 'twist' . That special 'something' that make his beers stand out.
Owner and brewer Kees Bubberman started his brewing career in 2007 at Emelisse, a small regional brewery in Kamperland, Zeeland. Within a couple of years Emelisse became a household name among craft breweries worldwide, thanks to the by British and American beer styles inspired ales, IPA's, strong porters, stouts that Kees Bubberman brewed. Never afraid of trying something new and relying on his experience as a restaurant chef he created more than 30 new beers, including an IPA with Earl Grey tea, barrel aged porters en stouts and strong porters and stouts with coffee. Kees was ahead of his time with experimental flavours like these.
In 2014 Kees Bubberman decided to start his own brewery in his hometown Middelburg. Thankful for the opportunities Emelisse gave him, he felt that it was time to go his own way. Brewery Kees! started in January 2015 and within a year his delicious IPA's, strong porters, Russian Imperial stouts and barrel aged barley wines, porters en stouts found their way in the (beer-)world.
Kees keeps on creating new beers and searching for new tastes, sometimes following and sometimes setting trends.

Opaque in color with a small brownish head. The aroma has barrel-aged wood, chocolate, roasted malt and port-like sweetness. Medium-bodied. Lighter than the 12% ABV would suggest. Port-like sweetness, wood and dark malt on the palate. It leans toward the simple side, but is an enjoyable Kees.

Blik van de webshop. Smaak is krachtig warm, bitterzoet en kruidig met wat honing, een lichte banaan smaak en koriander. Is wat apart maar voor mij toch een heel goed bier.

Nose is chocolate, dark malts, spice, charr, mellow whisky vibes.
Taste comprises chocolate, caramel, spice, dark malts, toasted brown sugar, mellow barrel.
Medium bodied with bite, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a trace of booze.
Okay sipper if a little thin all round for the ABV.

Can. Semi opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head. Smooth palate, light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. The usual level of caramel goodness, slightly savoury and sweet. The Moscatel barrel - well it's a bit light for my liking. Some ripe citrus candy on the back end but, it's way down from the dominant caramel. Decent but suffers from a lack of bolder barrelling.
