The final batch (#3) of the local Kesäsahti.
This batch is of special importance to me because I participated in all the phases and documented every step and detail for my intention to brew my own Sahti in the future.
A funny detail is worth mentioning: the Sahtimaster uses a strong wooden paddle to stir the Sahti in the early phases of the process. After each batch is ready, he carves a small notch on the paddle. This batch is overall #228. 👑🏆
The beer colors murky, medium-brown with no carbonation. The color is a bit paler than the two other batches. A modest ring of medium-sized bubbles circles the surface for quite some time.
The fragrance puts forward hefty fermented banana, a bit of cantaloupe and a note of mango. I also pick a little bit of apricot, sweet drycake and dough.
The taste is sweet, delicious and a bit thin. The beer allows one to enjoy strong fermented banana, accompanied by moderate proportions of apricot, cantaloupe, mango and faint raisin. Furthermore, I get biscuit, sweet dough and a tad sweet drycake. Attractive and multilayered.
The body is medium. This is probably the weakest link of this batch: the two previous batches were a tad fuller. The taste becomes a bit fuller over time but approximately at this time of the process, the beers used to be a bit fuller.
The beer finishes with fermented banana, apricot, fermented mango and biscuit. I also find sweet drycake and dough. The aftertaste rolls on tongue for some time.
The mouthfeel is a bit sappy, somewhat lip-glueing and relatively soft and smooth. It's also satiating and gluggable as well as nicely multilayered.
