Description
Saimaa Brewing Company on yksi Suomen vanhimmista yhä toiminnassa olevista pienpanimoista. Juuremme ulottuvat vuoteen 1995, jolloin ravintoloitsija Pertti Oksa aloitti oluenpanon Mikkelissä 200 litran ravintolapanimossa. Nykyinen, vuonna 2013 käynnistynyt panimomme mahdollistaa maanlaajuisen toiminnan ja kasvuvaraa riittää vielä tulevaisuuteenkin. Tällä hetkellä olemme tuotantomääriltämme Suomen kolmanneksi suurin pienpanimo.

A black beer with a quite weak and light brown head. Aroma is pleasant, roasted, liquirice, strawberries, quite lot of sweetness. Taste is overally simple, roasted, ryebread, quite dry and slightly burned aftertaste. Only medium bodied and it’s too light for this kind of beer. A slightly controversial beer, nice aroma, but simple taste combined with slightly too light body weaken the overall impression. Anyway, this is good beer and the glass was quickly empty.

330ml bottle from Alko as Marsalkka Portteri

Pours pitch black with a tiny white bubbly head. Aroma has notes of licorice, burnt malts, and leather. Taste is quite boozy with notes of burnt malts, salty licorice and some hops. Finish is quite strong and warming with fruity and bitter notes. Okay, quite strong and slightly unbalanced porter.
