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.

30cl Bottle from a gift pack, Monnikbier 2009, ABV 8.5% if I recall correctly. Clear deep reddish brown colour, creamy beige head. Sour and oxidized aroma, papery cinnamon, sour fruits, red wine. Flavour is light malty, sour, dry, some dark fruits. Medium bodied, lively carbonation. Heavily infected, I found this to be undrinkable.

Bottle, 7.5%. Malty aroma. Hazy amber colour. Stable tan head. The flavour has more hops than the aroma. Quite malty with a distinct bitterness and a sweet hoppiness. Hint of grass, but perhaps a little less than fresh.
