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.

Slabszy to owsiany mocny stout. Piana znikoma kolor czarny niprzeswitujacy. Aromat kawowy. W smaku likierowy posmak alkoholu, nieco kawy czekolady slodkiej i na koniec jeszcze raz uderza rozgrzewajacy alkohol i ponownie mocna kawa. Alkohol jest wyczuwalny w tym piwie ale podobmy do rumowego.
