Gulden Draak Smoked
10,5%
The creation of Gulden Draak Smoked harkens back to the time-honored tradition of drying malt: smoking malt. This provided a smoky touch to the malt which you had in the beer afterwards. This typical smoke flavor was lost over the years as drying techniques for the malt were made significantly more efficient.
Portrait adjusted right format
The use of smoked malt combined with Brewery Van Steenberge’s specialty gives a spectacular result: heavy quality high-fermentation beer with secondary fermentation in the bottle, christened as the Gulden Draak Smoked. The smoked malt in the recipe creates a velvety, roasted flavor in the beer.
