16/I/17 - 33cl bottle @ Taco Monday (home) - BB: 20/X/17 (2017-46) Thanks to Wixie for picking me up this bottle!
Little hazy orange to amber beer, small aery off-white to yellow head, little stable, bit adhesive. Aroma: very sweet malts, caramel, very fruity, bit resinous, spicy touch, sugary. MF: soft carbon, medium to full body. Taste: sweet and malty start, spicy, bit sourish, nice bitterness, fruity hops, grapefruit. Aftertaste: bitter, resinous, sweet malts, alcohol, bit cheesy, sweaty feet, caramel. Very good beer, but by no means is this a Sahti/Gotlandsdricke/Koduõlu... More an ipa if anything.

Bottle shared at the Kernel - thanks to Ben. Pours unclear golden-brown with a creamy off-white head. The nose has bready malts, hints of pine, spices. Medium sweet flavor with lightly toasted bread, soft cinnamon, dough, floral hops, some grain husk. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet finish with further bready malts, toast, earth, leaves, mild pine resins. Quite tasty, and novel.

Bottle thanks to Ben H. It pours murky deep amber with a thick beige head. The nose is rich, piney, peppery juniper, spice, fresh forest, rye bread, barnyard and varnish. The taste is bitter-sweet, rye bread, earth, resin, wood, spice, leather, burnt toffee and varnish with a dry, spicy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Interesting and spicy. Nice.

Bottle from Cornelius.Murky chestnut body with a thin beige head. Nice lacing. Aroma of wood, earth, orange and toffee. Flavour of butterscotch, warming spices, biscuit and salted caramel. Bitter finish of spruce and grass. Medium body with a chewy mouthfeel. A great beer for Christmas (I’ll have to buy another one).
