Bottle thanks to mar. Pours with a huge, creamy, off-white head, and a hazy amber body. Aroma of dirt, silt, soil nuitrients, congac, charred barrels at the finish, some nuts too. Taste is silt, nuts, and chocolate, alcohol is extremely well hidden. Odd mouthfeel, creamy then dry, ultra low carbonation

Pours dirty dark gold straw with off white head. The aroma is sweet sugar, some spice and then mustard mixing in too. The taste is much the same with sweet sugar, sweet malts, sweet dark fruity esters, some mild spices and then light amounts of mustard and hops. Nice brew. It could really use more mustard to bring about a more interesting beer. As is, the mustard is just faint and deep in the background.

Pours deep copper to amber with tan head and some decent lacing. Wow, the aroma is here and there with sweet malts, roasted malts, solid earthiness, some musty dark fruitiness and alcohol heat. The taste like the nose has lots going on with light and dark fruity esters followed by some roasted malts that seem to move to burnt malts. By midway a solid note of earthiness wells up with a hop bitter bite and lingering roastiness into the finish.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a brown body and a light brown heead with good lacing. Aroma is solid tobbacco, smoke, soot and chocolate. Taste is way too much wood, very bitter, with a sootie, smoldering campfire after taste. Syrupy mouthfeel.

Courtesy of ibrew2or3. Pours blonde, white head. Aroma, malty, yeasty (moldy). Taste is spicy, light sugar, malty with really faint notes of spices, among which one can notice some very light mustard spice.

Pours hazy straw color with minimal white head. Aroma of wheat and orange peel. Sour lemon and wheat flavors. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. This one is just not doing anything for me.

Courtesy of Tony @ OTH. Pours golden, white head. Aroma, reminded me of asperagus, yeasty with farm notes. Taste about the same, vegetable notes, with some fruits (orange/citrus), some floral hops. Beer gained in spices and aroma as it warmed up.

Bottle: Moderate depth brown pour with a huge tan head. Smells of Belgian spices, yeast, cloves, and a bit dry/dusty. Perhaps a little toffee. Tastes of a wierd chocolate and coffee blend with heavy roast. Nutty. Some lingering bitters. It did get better as it warmed up, but it seemed more like a porter mixed with a Belgian strong.

Great hook up from BOLTZ. I pop the top and I let the smoke from the carbonation just sit there for a few moments. I peak into the bottle neck and see the foam just inching its way up. Well, looks like I need to pour this right away. Of course, it pours with a very large head, very bubbly, and not white, more like a very light tan color. The body is a dark brown, with no clarity, just some lighter edges. As the head fades slowly it leaves a super sticky lacing on the glass. Aroma is super air-y with a lot of effervescence just shooting up the nose, not a surprise from Regenboog but this seems even stronger than usual. This seems to subdue the rest of the aroma, again a running theme for this brewer. There is some woodsy, sweet, and lightly fruity bread. There is some faint spirit alcohol essence as well, may just be the effervescence or maybe its coming in through some of the fruitiness. Or maybe the greater effervesence and the light fruitiness a combination of the yeast and the cognac. Taste is very "brown" like an amp-ed up brown ale. Some slick, tobacco-ish, dark malts, some leafy oak and spirit coming through as well. Its light, the yeastiness is not coming through (a disappointment, as that is what I seek with Regenboog brews). The sweetness has been turned down a lot compared to the regular Imp Stout. I think this makes it a lot more accessible to folks not in love with this brewer. Finishes with some faint and watery cognac (I guess its cognac, its weird) and just a bit of yeasty sweetness dough and sweetness. As I top the beer off there goes that humongous head again. I think this would be more appealing to people who do not love this brewer. And as is sometime the theme, this beer is sometimes getting in its own way. Still nice stuff, a lot of the yeastiness and sweetness that I love in the Imp Stout is diminished here by a lot.
Thanks again Jason, 33cL bottle, Regenboog chalice.
