Brewed by Brouwerij De Regenboog
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Assebroek-Brugge, Belgium

Pours a relatively clear light amber color, with a tiny, light brown head. Smells a little sweet and tart, definitely get some of the raisins and funky sour fruits its brewed with. The flavor was slightly acidic, but not overpoweringly so. Definitely had some tannins along wit hthe raisins and dark fruits in the taste. I didnt get alot of the supposed honey its brewed with, that was masked pretty well. Decent little brew, nothing awesome.

Pours a dark cloudy reddish color with a thin tan head. Has hints of caramel, dark fruits, spice, candied sugar. Finishes with a perfect balance of carbonation and alcohol. Leaves a sweet sugar taste on the tongue.

Pours a cloudy ruddy brown with a short dense light tan head. Aroma is spicy, fruity (a little balck cherry), with a hint of Brett in the background. Low carbonation, body was lighter. Mild candi sugar start that easily moves to a subdued tartness that finishes dry. Not too complex on the flavor, but smells nice, is pleasing to drink, and provides a decent tart fix if you’re not in the mood for anything extreme.

Pours a cloudy rusty red with a medium off-white head. Big sweet nose, spicy esters, dark fruits, and sweet caramel. Sourness attempts to balance this beer out, but its very sweet even through the sourness.

Murky amber, moderate head, good lacing and retention. Aroma is fruity with some raisin notes, but not overbearing. Honey is there if you really search. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel. Tasty and very well done, but doesn’t wow me and isn’t really my thing.

Dark with off white head. Sweet aroma of yeast, brown sugar and caramel. Flavour with the same sweetness and caramel with a light touch of fruit and some dryness. A little too sweet almost making me queasy. But just almost - it’s still beer and above average.

Bottle, 33 cl. Dark copper-amber with off-white head. Aroma fruity, yeast, sweet caramel. Medium body. Taste = complex a bit sourness, caramel malts, sweet, some fruity. Nice.

Pours a dark copper color with an off-white head. Aroma is of dark fruits, mostly raison, caramel, a slight sourness, yeast, and just a hint of alcohol. Flavor starts off strong of the raisons that gives way to the caramel and sweet malts. Finishes with some sourness and slight alcohol warming. Overall this is pretty decent.
