This is another sister in our plant/herb/berry-flavored Historical Ales. Fourth actually in order. The flavor comes from birch leaves. 🌿 The beer colors basically transparent, dark brown. Reasonably rich carbonation creates a small-bubbled, off-white head that exceeds one finger's height. Soon the foam descends to a frazil-icy haze and marks the glass with orbiting cobwebs. The scent is rather restrained with brown malt, a small injection of syrup-flavored Easter bread and faint cookie. Birch leaf, honestly speaking, I can't identify in the olfactory supply. Birch leaf is quite mild as a seasoning element though. The taste receptors get brown multigrain bread, some malt, a note of cookie and something summery and refreshing that I associate with birch leaves. Its actual flavor remains camouflaged to me. Well well... the taste is basically fine but the absence of fresh birch leaf is a disappointment. The body is thin. The finish offers nothing different from upfront. The aftertaste whips itself with a vihta and feels heavenly. The mouthfeel is thin, smooth, rather gluggable but, generally speaking, not too insipiring. I'm disappointed with the absence of birch. 😒
