Gulden Draak Smoked revives the ancient tradition of malt drying through smoking, introducing a velvety soft roasted taste to this high fermentation beer. This dark, heavy smoked beer, enriched with smoked malt, boasts a deep dark brown color, a 10.5% alcohol volume, and flavors of caramel, chocolate, and dark fruit. The finish is light-sweet and smoked, designed for those who appreciate a quality smoked beer.
The Gulden Draak Smoked beer is a testament to Brewery Van Steenberge's commitment to traditional brewing methods, combined with innovative techniques. By incorporating smoked malt, the brewery has created a beer that stands out for its rich, smoky character, while still undergoing secondary fermentation in the bottle to enhance its complexity and flavor evolution over time.
Brouwerij Van Steenberge, operating since 1784, has a long-standing tradition of crafting unique beers. The Gulden Draak Smoked is the latest addition, showcasing the brewery's expertise in high fermentation, natural lagering, and secondary fermentation. CEO and 6th generation brewmaster Jef Versele's inspiration from traditional "rauchbieren" of Bamberg is evident in this beer, aiming to offer something special in the Belgian beer market.
Gulden Draak Smoked has been well-received in the beer community, with recognition in several beer competitions including the London Beer Competition, Brussel Beer Challenge, World Beer Awards, and USA Beer Ratings in 2021.
