Brouwerij De Kobold Surtur
Other Smoked Beer 6.5 º
Surtur emerges as a evocative Classic Style Smoked Beer, designed to bridge the transition from late summer into the colder months. The sensory profile is anchored by a clean, hearth-like smoke character reminiscent of beechwood, which weaves through a robust base of toasted and Munich-style malts. It pours a deep mahogany with a persistent tan head. The interplay between the smoky glow and a rich, bready sweetness provides a comforting depth at 6.5% ABV. Clean fermentation allows the wood-smoke aromatics to remain inviting, resulting in a balanced, atmospheric profile that evokes a crackling fireplace without ever becoming harsh or phenolic.
Appearance. Deep mahogany to dark chestnut with copper highlights (22-28 SRM). Features a dense, creamy tan head with excellent retention and light lacing; clarity is good despite the dark hue.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity smoke character, suggesting campfire or toasted hardwood, balanced by sweet, bready malt. Background notes of caramel and toasted crust are present. Hop aroma is low and earthy, while the fermentation profile remains clean with minimal esters.
Taste. Initial impression is a savory blend of wood-smoke and rich, toasted malt. Mid-palate reveals light caramel and a touch of nuttiness. Bitterness is moderate and serves to balance the malt sweetness without being sharp. The smoke character is assertive yet well-integrated, avoiding medicinal or rubbery notes. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering, pleasant smoky aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing sufficient lift. A gentle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, and there is no smoke-derived astringency.
