11.2oz Belgian "grenade" style bottle. Murky, muddy brown-black color with a nice foamy head. Brown sugary sweet and very, very smooth, this one is a classic. 3.3 rating, WTF, this beer outclasses many of the high rated Imperial Stouts. It doesn’t, however, really have to many traditional stout-like qualities. A little light on the chocolate malt baby! Imperial Brown Ale? Nonetheless this is a seriously impressive beer, very tasty stuff.

Super cool miketd bonused this to me, right on. It poured with a brown color, but that did not phase me much, I am not looking for the prototypical Impy with this beer. The head was humongous though, all thick and bubbly and very Belgian. The aroma is sweet Belgian yeast dough brownies with chocolate chip highlights. Taste is not as central on the sweet brownie chocolate but turns into a light brown sugar sweetness. A thicker mouthfeel with some reduced carbonation (weird when looking at the large head). Absolutely no sense of alcohol, low on hops and bitterness. For me its another Regenboog hit and another Belgian Strong masquerading as an Imperial Stout success.
33cL bottle, Rodenbach smaller tulip glass, thanks again Mike.

Pours a barely transparent amber mahogany with a large, airy, wispy-lacing beige head. Aroma of sweet dark caramel and toasted malts with a good amount of bready Belgian yeast and a touch of milk chocolate. Body starts with the typical Belgian effervescence and a rich dark caramely malty sweetness toward a slightly drier, biscuity malty finish. Definitely not your typical imperial stout, but it’s a pretty good Belgian Quadrupel nonetheless.

Murky brown color with a large head. Aroma of Belgian yeast and light spice. Nutty and burnt caramel taste. Hazelnut, toasted malt. The nutty taste definitely comes out more towards the bottom of the barrel. Not even close to what I’d consider an Imperial Stout, but a delicious beer.
