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. Orange color, cloudy. tangerine in the aroma. Flowery, alcoholic flavor with pineapple and tangverine. Some grassy hopbitterness coming through in the finiah. Thinnish, alcoholic, amateuristic, though with a clean mouthfeel.

30cl Bottle at home, birthday gift. Dark reddish brown colour, thin lasting creamy off white head. Aroma of red wine, dark fruits, light sour, wet paper. Flavour is sweet dark malts and fruits, raisins, figs, light sour grapes, paper with a faded cinnamon taste, coriander, some other spices. Tastes oxidized. Light sour fruity finish. Tastes like a really big beer, has a lot of nice flavours when tasted separately, but they don’t blend in very well. Medium bodied, lots of CO2. This beer has potential.

Bottle: Poured a hazy orange with a creamy off white head. Aroma is sweet with a winey hint. Taste is sour and bitter with a copper metal up front, this leads into whiskey alcohol taste.

Bottled (BB 11/2009). Amber color, no head. Rye bready and malty nose with sweet notes. Very sweet toffee sugary flavor. Some rye bread, almond liquer, cognac, alcohol. Interesting, but propably needs some cellaring.
