Description
Brouwerij 't Koelschip bestaat in principe al sinds 1992 toen brouwmeester Jan Nijboer en zijn vrienden al brouwdemonstraties gaven op locatie. Vanaf 1999 volgt een verhaal van allerlei pogingen een brouwerij te openen, die allen mislukken. In 2005 besluit Jan Nijboer zijn speurtocht naar een geschikte locatie na zovele jaren te staken. Sindsdien brouwt Jan Nijboer op kleine schaal aan de Grace Kellystraat, 1 hl. per brouwsel.

Bottle (label says "Explosie"): Distinctive caramelly and port-vinous nose; clear, amber coloured, no head to speak of; moderate to solid sweet flavour, full bodied; brandy and dried fruits in the sweet caramelly finish with an alcoholic and warming aftertaste. Not bad, but too sweet......
