Description
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.

Op de verjaardag van m’n ouwe heer!schenkt zwart en ietwat stroperig, met enige moeite er een mooie fijne en kleine kraag op gekregen. Damn direct al bij de eerste inhalatie komen er toch een partij héérlijke aroma´s naar binnen, zoetige ietwat weeïge geroosterde mout, redelijk zoete, vanille, iets van hout en heeft ook wel wat weg van een BA aroma, verder melkchocolade, gewoonweg erg goed al bij de eerste slok valt direct op dat dit gewoon een erg lekker bier is, redelijk zoet, vanille, geroosterde mouten, hout, iets van whisky, licht droog, donkere chocolade, koffie, iets van crème brûlée. mooie bitterheid in de smaak, blijft lang hangen met licht pittig, zacht, romig en in de afdronk komen de koffie tonen terug. ja ik ben fan... erg lekker !!!!

Shared bottle. Clear dark golden with medium white head. Lots of tangerine up front with orange peel, over ripe pineapple, olive oil, yeast, white pepper and light spicy. Taste is medium sweet, light oily and alcoholic/glue. Light bitter finish and light tartness throughout. Medium bodies with slick feel. Strange stuff, not bad though.
