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.

33 cl bottle @ home as ”Marsalkka Portteri” from Saimaan Juomatehdas. BBE 08/2012
Aroma is fruity and a bit stale with very light roastiness for this style and ABV. Flavour is fruity and hoppy with toffee. Hints of metal in the finish and some roastiness kicks in at the aftertaste. Somewhat harsh palate. Thinner and worse than I would expect from a 8,6% porter. This is actually rather close to an export stout. But decent stuff anyway.

Got this at the Alko Wiklund in Turku (right now the biggest one since the one on Places is being renovated or something like that). Shared with ogivlado. Murky yellow body, small white head. Slightly sourish banana nose. Slightly sourish notes of banana show up in the taste too with some cloves. The acidity seems perfectly balanced, and whether this was intenional or not I don’t care because it ended up being remarkably good. Well done brewery or well done bacteria. In any case, better than I expected.

Clear amber, chestnut color, small off-white head. Bready, ryeish aroma with hints of caramel. Medium-bodied. Flavor has raisins and is bready. Quite thin, watery palate for this ABV. Finish has some hoppy bitterness and then hints of caramel. Kind of homebrewish and not balanced as good English strong bitter should be.
