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, BBE Q3/2014
Aroma is rather floury and has some stale vegetables and grain. Loads of CO2 in palate. Flavour is spicy and it gets more intensive in the aftertaste. Some vegetables and orange peel there too. Not very nice, but hides almost all of the alcohol well. I had also another bottle of this that had leaked some of its content to the transportation box - and it was better than this!

Bottle at home, shared with DutchDrebus. Color is like a stout, but it doesn’t smell or taste like one. It’s decent, but it’s not an imperial stout to me.

Bottle @ home. Brown appearance with a bubbly, light brown head. Roasty, milky, slightly charred, chocolate, dark malty nose. Boozy, rough, chocolate, chat, roasty dark malty flavor. A little harsh and boozy. A disappointment in my mind.

Had this beer at 2010 Kerstbierfestival in Essen, Belgium. Don’t remember much of this beer, nothing really stood out in my opinion. It was a little weird but also not too much. Nice body though, a real warmer on cold winter nights.

Not a big fan of stouts, just recently start to enjoy them. The worst thing about this one was the mouthfeel. Taste was pretty good!

(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a blond and tall frothy head. Slightly dusty and sweet malty aroma with notes of biscuits, accompanied by notes of citrus and shades of coriander. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a prickly carbonation. Biscuity and slightly grainy malty taste with just a tinge of wheat and also rather shy fruity notes; sweet malty and slightly sour-fruity finish. Uncommon Wit. 09.VI.11
