Description
We travel frequently and research extensively. We surround ourselves with friends and collaborators from all over the world. Our work aims to find suppliers of unique products, innovative and improved techniques. We are recognized for experimentalism and for the quality and peculiarity of our processes and materials. We work with attention to detail. Our production capacity allows us to closely observe the entire process. The filling, which we take very seriously, is carried out in a unique and exclusive manner with custumisations of techniques and equipment. Our goal is to deliver in the can, the same product from the taps of the factory day bar. The total control of our production chain, added to our direct sales system, allow us total vision and maximum communication with customers. This system allows us to send a product that was packaged on the same day.

New brewery tick ? Opulent dark sweet and roasted malty with lashings of decadent chocolate, balance of dark bitter chocolate and sweet caramel and vanilla coming together, some dried fruit, lots of pleasing spice in the lingering malty close. Gorgeous.

On tap at EAP, pours a clear bright golden with a small white head. Aroma reveals bright resinous hops, plenty of pine, and some citrus. Flavour is bright and clean, with a great explosion of resinous and piney hops, citrus zest, and crisp biscuity malt. This can compete with the better WCIPAs on the west coast of North America, honestly. Excellent.

Draught@Juova Hanahuone, Helsinki. Hazy yellow colour, with a small white head. Aroma is toffee, some floral, fruity and mild vanillaish tones with some mild toast too. Flavour is fruity, toffeeish, mild tartness, vanilla and rather dry as for the palate.

Can at hone. Ugly murky yellow color, virtually no head. Aroma is citrusy. Flavor is too. Too citrusy and very one dimensional. Meh. Average at best.

ENV 13/09/21. Black, thick, fine brown head. Smell is sweet, hazelnut aplenty, subtle coconut, plenty earthy coffee. Lovely thick body, with some decent carbonation. Smooth, bit boozy. Taste is on the sweet side, but with a nice roast. Coffee. HazelCoco. The most coffee one of the threesome, which helps the balance and compensates the sweetness. Nice!
