Description
De brouwerij werd opgericht in 1995 door Johan Brandt en was tot 2008 gelegen in het West-Vlaamse Assebroek, een deelgemeente van de stad Brugge. Voornamelijk omwille van het gebrek aan de nodige ruimte voor uitbreiding (de brouwcapaciteit bleef beperkt tot 320 liter per brouwsel), verhuisde de brouwerij in 2009 naar Mater, een deelgemeente van Oudenaarde. Deze verhuis bracht ook de officiële naamsverandering van De Regenboog naar Smisje met zich mee. In 2010 werd beslist alle bestaande bieren behalve het Kerstbier te doen verdwijnen uit het assortiment en het nieuwe bier Smiske te lanceren. De oudere Smisje-bieren werden echter zo gewaardeerd dat een aantal mensen een Facebook-groep opzette om de bieren toch nog te laten brouwen. Op aanvraag van de regelmatige bezoekers besluit in 2011 de brouwer ook Smiske Bruin te brouwen.

33 cl bottle @ hotel room, Brussels. Rated on 18.07.2010
Aroma has vegetables typical to danish ales, some earthy and roasted notes. And a sourish feeling. Flavour is sourish with vegetables, roasted notes, soy sauce and distant earthy notes. Probably the worst Imperial Stout I’ve had.

Huge beige, dense head over fully hazy amber-brown beer. Wild fruit & yeast, typical for the brewery. Bit of soapy features in the nose. Sweet-spicy, very yeast-intoned. Again fruity notes (orange, mango). Slick, bit warming, well-carbonated. Typical Smiske brew. Not the best, certainly not the worst.Earlier Rating: 12/19/2010 Total Score: 3.8Huge, dense, off-white head, over lighter foxy-amber beer; some lace. Woody aroma, very sweet, darker malts & melanoidins, parsley. Wood, quite sweer, preserved cherries, alcohol & fusels, creamy vanillasauce. Slight sourishness in the finish. Very slick, bit oilyness, but not overly full-bodied; alcohol obvious. Streamlined compared to the Assebroek predecessors, maybe the sense of adventure has been culled a bit, but consistency has been gained.
