Gift from brewer Carine Kelder, the beer is (for the time being) not available for sale. Just a bit darker as gold, very steady creamy head. Smoky aroma, but certainly not agressive. Malty, creamy and a bit soapy. Just a bit smoky flavor, more smoked cheese as smoked ham. Apricot. Very flowery. Just a hint of metal. The smokiness is very subtle. not the harsh smokiness you’ll find in Heller-Schlenkerla beers. The balance nears perfection, absolutely clean in the aftertaste. Just a tad thin. A very good beer, maybe not suited for the inexperienced palate, although it is very much a beginners’ Rauchbier. This excellent beer deserves a good spot on the Dutch beer market!

bottle from Bierkoning. Deep brown colour with an amber-orange glow, large and creamy head, very persistant. Malty base with caramel and herbs, very pleasant smoke flavours throughout. Delicious.

Bottle. Weak smoky aroma. Hazy dark red colour, hint of brown. Nice stable light brown head. The flavour starts off quite dry, then there is some smoke, turning into a very roasted bitterness. The smoke is not as powerful as some other smoked beers, but quite distinct. The roast barley bitterness is a lot like some stouts. Good, full mouthfeel, slightly creamy.

Bottle (Diky, bierkoning !): Hazy, coloured like honey, small foamy layer; sweetish-fruity and distinctive smoked nose; sweet, slightly sourish flavour, medium bodied; sourish-fruity, slightly sweetish finish with an easily detectable smoke in the aftertaste. Excellent by Dutch standards...........

(bottle) Hazy orange to amber colour with a short yellow foamy head. Elegant fruity and smoked malt aroma. Moderately sweet and initially soft smoked malty taste with a fruity touch, medium bodied, almost lively carbonated; dry and strong smoky meaty finish. This one is much more “franconian” than the Veenrook by De Gouwe which I had before, but has also its own elegant fruity character. Dank u well, bierkoning !

Reddish-amber, hazy; small cream-coloured head. Gelderse Ringworst ( a Dutch light-smoked sausage), bit of cigarette ash. Nice, meaty, smoked taste, also a bit fruity, fruity esters. Quite well-bodied, and, sorry, fleshy. Very good, and original Rauchbier, different from the Bamberg ones, but not inferior in any way.

Slightly hazy yellow, short white head. Aroma is bit skunky, smoked. Taste is very nice smoked, smooth and easy drinkable.
