Txapela & Klompen is an ambitious strong ale from Brouwerij De Molen in Bodegraven, brewed with rye and whiskey malt and finished with bourbon. This beer blends saison fermentation with the smoky, complex character of roasted grains and barrel influence.

The nose reveals smoked malt, peated whiskey and dried fruit. On the palate, a bittersweet interplay unfolds—smoke, red fruits, jam and subtle bacon-like notes, supported by caramel and toffee. The finish is dry and lingering.

At 13.6% ABV, this is a full-bodied, warming beer suited to autumn evenings and robust cheeses.
