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. Color: Hazy red amber, very thin beige head. Aroma: Malty, caramel and Cognac notes, boozy hints. Taste: Malty, caramel, toffee hints, Sweetish, fruity (grape), bit spicy and boozy Cognac. Over medium to full body, low carbonation. Moderate to over moderate sweet, light going to moderate bitterness. Nice, but I keep thinking about the potential this barrel would have had on a nice Stout. A bit unbalanced now, the Red Ale is pushed away by the Cognac in my opinion.

Bottle. Murky dark amber/brow with shades of red. Devoid of any head. Aroma of malts, dried and stone fruits featuring mild hints of whisky. Taste of dried fruits, caramel, malts, toffee, anise and a whiff of whisky though the barrel presence is rather subdued. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Very balanced and the alcohol is really well hidden. Fine and enjoyable but a little more complexity would make quite the difference.
