Smoked Tripel?

Hi
I'm looking to make a smoked beer, and I came up with this recipe:

55% Pils malt, Weyermann
25% Smoked malt, Weyermann
20% Honey

20 IBU- (not sure what hop here)
1/2oz English aroma hops

this is a..... Tripel.
In my head, smoke, honey and english hops are a good combination. what do you think?
I know its weird, but I like weird...

comments anyone?

What do I think of a smoked tripel? I'm not sure. If you like smoked beers, it's worth a shot. Have you had rauchbier/know what you're getting into with rauchmalt?

As to the recipe, I'm not sure how much of a tripel character it's going to have. Looks to me more like it's going to taste like a really dry smoked pilsener than anything else, since it's pretty much just pilsener malt and rauchmalt. I've not brewed a tripel before, so I don't know what to put in them to give it the tripel character other than the yeast, if anything.

i just added 20% rauch malt to a california common and it added just the right amount of smoke.

I'm not sure about the honey, but if you think it'll be a good combo, give it a shot. I'd just use something clean for the bittering addition, you don't want flavor or aroma hops mixed with the smoke.

Sounds delicious to me. Please report back with your results!

How about working in some honey malt so you actually get some honeyesque flavor?
