De Smokin' Elder wordt exclusief gebrouwen op vraag van en voor Dranken Jeroen. Jeroen is op hetzelfde moment gestart als de brouwerij, in 2008. Naast echte bierfanaten zijn Jeroen en zijn vader Rudy ook fervente whiskyliefhebbers. Tijdens één van de leveringen van de brouwerij aan de drankencentrale kwam dit ter sprake en ontstond het idee om een Whiskybier te ontwikkelen, exclusief voor de drankencentrale. Na verscheidene proefbrouwsels en proeverijen viel de keuze op dit ongefilterd strogeel blond bier met een typisch turfaroma, een stevige bitterheid afkomstig van een grote hoeveelheid Saaz hop en een frisse afdronk door het gebruik van jeneverbessen.

gist: Lage gist en hergisting in de fles
hop: Saazhop
mout: Pils- (gerst), tarwe- en whiskeymout (geturft) en havervlokken
temp: 4-6°C
Vol. % alc: 8,5

Light gushing to just off-white head, very stable and fed by very lively carbonated, faintly veiled golden beer. End of bottle solid yeast. Smoked, tar, tarred wood, phenolic, bit mineral, rookzout. Smoked, phenolic malts, Islay malt whisky, tar, tarred ples, Lapsan Souchong. Not very well bodied, spritzy to fizzy carbonation. Rather undimensional, but definitely one to try by the Rauchlovers.
