Rook & Vuur (Smoke & Fire) – ABV 8.2%
Smoked malt and subtle hints of chilli with dark sugar the master brewers of Bodegraven.
Look: Dark brown with a generous dark beige head.
Aroma: Sweet and smoky like marshmallows being toasted over a campfire.
Taste: Sweet brown sugar, roasted malts and oh so smoky, with a delicate chilli hit right at the end when you’d almost forgotten it was coming.
Verdict: Like maple candied bacon with a hint of chilli, these flavours were born to be married together. Beautiful.
