Description
In het uiterste oosten van Twente, helemaal tegen de rand van Duitsland nog achter Losser, ligt het smokkeldorp Overdinkel. In de vorige eeuw, toen de Europese grenzen nog gesloten waren, werden hier veelvuldig koffie, schoenen, boter en kleding gesmokkeld over de grens met Duitsland. Dit zorgde voor een mooi extra zakcentje voor de dorpsbewoners. De meest wilde verhalen gaan nog rond. In de nacht luisterden de inwoners geregeld naar het geluid van geloste schoten langs de grens en hoopten ze dat de volgende ochtend vader- of broerlief weer heelhuids thuis zou komen. Wild West-taferelen waren het, maar dan in het Oosten des lands… Dit smokkelverleden leidde tot de inspiratie voor de bieren van Brouwerij de Smokkelaar.

Bottle at home. Jet black pour with a magnificent, beige head (oh God am I one of those people now?). Nose is fruity, licorice-like, oaky, vanilla, maybe a touch of maple? Taste is light roast, licorice, some vanilla, chocolate. Medium bodied at best with a short, dryish finish. Happens.
