Description
Founder Tsjomme Zijlstra's idea to start his own brewery came to him after his time in England. He started to brew his own beer at home and decided in 2014 that he wanted go bigger. He met Menno and John, owners of Brouwerij de Molen in Bodegraven, and told them his story. They taught him how to brew with one of their old brewing installations. Kaapse Brouwers was born.

Pours a pitch black body and a dense mocha coloured head with good retention. Aroma's: some sourness from the bottle (not very promising). From the glass it's roasty, umami, alcohol, light sour. Retronasal it's sourish, roasted, funky, umami. Flavour is light sour and light sweet. Medium bodied. Warming alcohol. Soft carbonation. Finish is long, light sour and some roasty bitterness. Well, this is clearly infected, but it's not mouth puckering and actually somewhat enjoyable for a little while. But 375 is too much.

Black with a thin beige head. Gognac aroma with roasted malts and dark caramel. Sweet taste with a long sweet boozy finish. A real treat.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy golden colored brew with an dry and sweet bitter taste, much citrus hints with some slightly spices. Too dry for an saison and too sweet for an I.P.A., new hybrid style perheps?
