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.

Bottle, a murky medium brown. Quick livelt light tan head. Strange carmelized malts, light dates and raisons, and a slightly sour tannin bite at the end. Very strange, not a stout, and not good

Pours very dark amber, still clear though. Small white head dissapears within half a minute. Smell is intense, herbal/yeasty with a bit of sweetness and some booze. distant notes of what reminds of pumpkin, as well as some spices. Taste is full, very stong yeast, with a sharp, intense Sugar taste. not specificaly sweet, though there - of course - is sweetness. medium bitterness. Some malts, but really heavy, not fresh or crisp at all. Aftertaste has some of the more complex notes, but most of all yeasty-type herbal and spiced essences. Very boozy all the way though; Earlier Rating: 11/5/2016 Total Score: 3.1Pours clear amber. Small white head. Smell is bit aged’ Taste is full, bit sweet, oxidized. Still a Nice mf

Pours clear, caramely brown. Extremely big white head that stays very damn stable as well. Smell is very sweet, sugar, earthy, caramel. Taste is also sweet, caramel, earthy. Seems very oxidized, even though its a few months before best by date. Not bad, but a bit too simplistic sweet. Also, very thin mouthfeel.

Pours rather unclear blonde. OK white head. Smell is intense , overripe-fruit yeastyness. rather sharp. Taste is sharp bitterness, that dies of instantly, to make room for an aged-like yeastyness. overripe fruit, unfresh malts, doughy ( in a not so good way ) dusty, mild madeirization. And this isn’t even an aged bottle ( to my knowledge ) very, very overcarbonated.
