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.

We are Kaapse Brouwers. We are the brewers who introduced craft beer to Rotterdam, and Rotterdam to the world. With our Kaapse recipes we brew non-conformist beers. We choose for bold recipes and love to experiment with different flavors to create contemporary craft beers.

Very dark brown with quick fading head. Aroma has obvious bourbon but also subtle fruity notes, dried fruits especially. Flavour has layers of sweetness and also a kind of red wine barrel astringency. Aftertaste does deliver on some roasted malt notes just about retaining its status as a stout.

Pretty decently solid. Light, but simple smooth and clean. Just a light straightforward to style version. Well made. Bierkonig ams

37,5cl Fles van De Laat. Zwarte kleur, beige kraag. Licht rokerig, hint van turf, licht zuur, gebrande mout, hout, hint van drop, vineus, boozy, aards, zoethout, bitterzoete finish met een zurig randje. Medium tot volle body. Best lekker, maar verre van een schoolvoorbeeld van goede vatrijping. En vrij prijzig.

Donkergeel bier met schuim. Smaak is licht bitter hoppig en licht fruitig met iets van citrus en wat gras. Niet echt bijzonder.

0,33 l can from Wijnalda, Haren. Black in the glass, more than one finger beige head. Not as thick texture as expected. Kruiden/herbs on the nose, some malt.Taste starts intensive medicine herbal, sweetness with malt in the background. Licorice und christmas cookies. Dry herbal bitterness. Little bit alchoholic. Interesting but not expected due to the style.
