Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Imperial Stout
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

bottle courtesy of fata, thank you! talk about liquid bread, the hell with giunny! this stuff pours thick and opaque brown with some lil crusty, floury floaties. the nose is of dough, lots of dough! sweet with vanilla and butterscotch extracts, some hop flour dust. the taste is full on fresh dough, a hint of cinnamon, with a very present hop bitterness in the back. the mouthfeel is super, super full, chewy, and creamy. it lingers and makes you want a drink of water to wash it down. nice.

Bottle. Brown color. Tiny floaties . Malt, caramel, raisin, chocolate and a hint of ash in the aroma. Ashy, caramelly sweet flavor with roast and chocolate. Rhum. Hints of upcoming tartness. Just a touch of alcohol. Not bad, but not flawless.

Bottle, 33 cl. Dark brown beer with huge white/beige head, ubstablle and lacing and lasting. Fantastic head in one word. Sweet and grainy smell. Taste of coffee and caramel with a bitter aftertaste. Good stout, but there are definitely better (and more complex) ones.

Bottle. Nice creamy head with excellent duration. Color is dark brown. Aroma and taste are roast malt, chocolate, fruits and hops.

bottle @ brugsch beertje, nice dark black colour with beige head. Smell: roasted malts, wood. Taste: nice roasted malts, sweet, bitter, yeasty, caramel, spicy. Nice beer in my opinion!

Bottle. Light, red-brown liquid with a very large head. Smell is filled with sweet malt with some notes of rotten salad. Taste is mostly rotten sallad, with some roasted notes and an aftertaste that is dominated by alcohol. This is neither a stout nor a good beer.

A nice "light" imperial. This beer pours deep brown with a huge head. Its nose is carmel with hints of belgium yeast. Taste is full bodied but light...kinda like a belgium tripple but with more complex darker flavors. Flavor lasts and wants you to drink more. All in all a nice beer when you want some of a stouts flavor with out the heaviness.
