Bottle at work, courtesy of the Pohjala crew. Dried fruits, light esters, vineous notes, tannins and apples yet again. I was stoked for this beer, it’s a bummer it’s quite a let down.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Almost clear mahogany colour, small head. Woody port meet bananas and wheat bun dough up front. Sweet with full body and well rounded mouthfeel, some barrel tartness. Complex flavour where tart raisiny oaky port meets caramel and banana. Warming mid bitterness. Elegant, yet deep. Lovely!

Junction Road store.
Aromas are malt, caramel, raisins and yeast. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose. Raisins come out more, bittersweeted first going to bitter then a long sweet end. Full bodied with soft carbonation. A touch boozy.
