Smoke Flavored and Wood Aged Beer 6.5 º 38 IBU

Baxbier

Koud Vuur is a robust Classic Style Smoked Beer that artfully balances the depth of a traditional Porter with atmospheric smoke. The sensory profile is defined by the strategic use of gerookte and gebrande mouten, yielding a bouquet of campfire embers and rich, dark chocolate. On the palate, the smokiness provides a savory counterpoint to the roasted grain bitterness and toasted bread notes. Its clean fermentation and moderate ABV ensure a smooth, approachable experience, making it equally suited for a summer campfire or a winter hearth. The finish is pleasantly dry, leaving a lingering, woody smoke trail that invites another sip.

Appearance. Deep mahogany to near-black (30-40 SRM). Topped by a persistent, creamy tan head with fine lacing. Generally opaque, though clear highlights may appear at the glass edges.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by a pleasant, woody smoke aroma reminiscent of beechwood, seamlessly integrated with roasted malt notes of dark chocolate, coffee, and toasted crusts. Hop aroma is low to none. Clean fermentation profile with no significant esters.

Taste. Initial impression is of rich roasted grain and smooth wood smoke. Medium-low hop bitterness supports the malt without overwhelming. Flavors of cocoa and charred toast transition into a savory, slightly campfire-like mid-palate. The smoke adds a perceived dryness to the finish. No harsh, phenolic, or medicinal smoke character is present.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its 6.5% ABV. Low astringency despite the roasted and smoked grains.
