Happy "Learn to Homebrew Day"! Yes, such a day indeed exists! The day was established as the first Saturday in November by the American Homebrewers Association to promote the homebrewing activity. Today's homebrew is Sahti. Give me a sign if you are surprised 🤚🏻 This brew is also our first Sahti to contain (pilsner) malt by Pehkolan Mallastamo in addition to the fairly ubiquitous Viking Malt's sahti malt. The Sahti appears turbid, medium sludgy brown. Basically no carbonation but a few soapy bubbles are born on the top, just to die immediately away. Banana and biscuit hover to my nose. Banana biscuit, as a matter of fact. Classical nuances. A wisp of chocolate brownie can be added to the list. Let me sip. Banana, biscuit and banana biscuit. Yep. Whatever. The same flavors anyway. I push my senses to the edge for a potential capture of clove. Is it there? Or am I only dreaming? I'm inclined to say yes, it's there. Or maybe. Faint brownie can also be identified, not so chocolatey anymore. If something negative should be said, it's the distant note of alcohol. I'm not surprised since this is our strongest Sahti so far, 9.9 %. We didn't specifically target a strong Sahti but it is what appeared there as a final product. The body... is the weakest link of this Sahti: it's light to light-medium. The end gears moderately dryer as if floury and fermented although the basic elements are definitely still there. The infinite flower, ever blooming; the aftertaste's fragile, eternal; the immersive shelter, ever growing. The mouthfeel is light-medium (😐), classical, slightly lip-glueing, relatively balanced and mouthcoating but also marginally drying. I'm not entirely happy with this now.
