Malty Midsummer festivities to all Pint Please folks! 🇫🇮 This Finnish festivity starts with the traditional Finnish Sahti -- what else? Produced by an old sahtimaster in our village. The beer colors very murky and colors deep sludgy brown. Sahti is a real ale, hence no carbonation and basically no head. The scent is not particularly massive but emits a generous punch of fermented banana and some biscuit dough. The taste is really soft and smooth, and hence quite dangerous as it's easily gluggable despite the ABV of 8 %. I can pick fermented banana, sweet bread dough, a little bit of overripe mango and a tad biscuit. I can also detect a substantially distant hint of licorice among the gustatory elements. The body is medium-full. The beer finishes with a faintly grainy, sweet malt, a small injection of fermented banana, oversweet biscuit dough and a recognizeable nuance of licorice. The aftertaste lingers in the mouth for a rather short time. The mouthfeel is a bit sappy, truly soft and smooth, somewhat thick as well as a bit creamy. It's also very remotely boozy as well as nicely satiating.
