Bottle. Bronze pour. Aroma of strong meaty smoke, bacon, caramel, malt, orange and wheat. Taste has savory meaty smoke, sweet bacon, fire, caramel, malt, orange, little yeast and ham fat. Insane how this tastes like blended bacon, bit too sweet, but the rauch flavor is intense.

Fles op vakantie geprobeerd met LiekevdV. Het is een donkerbruin bier met een rode gloed en een medium schuimkraag. Het heeft een moutige en gedroogd fruitige geur. De smaak is gedroogd rood fruit en kruiden.

(Draught at De Drie Dorstige Herten, Utrecht, 27 Feb 2020) Dark brown colour, almost black, with creamy beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of caramel, dark bread and coffee. Malty taste with chocolate, dark bread, caramel, a touch of smoke and a mild roasty bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and warming winter beer. Nice one.

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!
