For the creation of the Gulden Draak Smoked, we go back to the ancient tradition of malt drying: smoking malt. This resulted in a smoked touch of the malt which you afterwards also could find in the beer. This typical smoky taste was lost over the years because the malt drying techniques were made considerably more efficient.
The use of smoked malt in combination with the specialty of Brewery Van Steenberge has a spectacular result: a heavy quality beer of high fermentation with a secondary fermentation in the bottle, baptized as Gulden Draak Smoked. The smoked malt in the recipe gives the beer a velvety soft roasted taste.
GULDEN DRAAK SMOKED delivers all the sweet and bready malt flavors synonymous with Gulden Draak Classic along with strong hints of smoke delivered by specialty malts that are dried over an open flame.
The classic cherry and raisin notes still shine through which is a testament to the Brewmaster’s dedication to achieving balance and maintaining the integrity of the brand.
One may be inclined to liken the flavors of this ale to the smoked beers of Bamburg, Germany, but remember at 10.5% abv its nearly double the strength
