A twist on our popular finnish style ale. Deeply malt-forward beer with moderate bitterness, largely from the addition of cedar branches in brewing process. Fermented in chambourcin barrels from Alto vineyards for an oaky wine flavor that complements the pine-like aroma from the cedar. Brett was added.

dark reddish brown, 1 finger head nice lacing. that aroma, like eucalyptus and mountain dew with mulled cider. tastes like wild spearmint with raw grass thrown in, herbal, thirst quenching. not really any brett presence.

Growler at RBWG 2014 grand tasting, thanks! Pours a deep amber red with a tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a surprising amount of menthol with notes of barrel, tannins and light fruits with some sweet grains. Flavor has notes of menthol and sage with light tart fruits, oak and a good amount of earthiness. Odd and different.

Growler - Medicinal, leafy and mint. Jet black with a brown head. Leary, mint and more herbal leaf. Brett shines through, I am sure this is making me healthy.
