Description
Põhjala Brewery is the brainchild of three friends and beer aficionados who, like many a future craft brewer, got tired of the tasteless watery lagers that the faceless megacorporations have saturated the beer market with.
We brew small batches of hand crafted ales, using the best malts, loads of mostly New World hops and a relentless passion for good beer. When creating our beers, we are inspired by Nordic nature, Estonian new cuisine and the work of our fellow microbrewers in the U.S., UK and Scandinavia who, in our opinion, are leading the craft beer revolution.
In hops we trust!

330 ml bottle. Pours a dark brown with very light head. Aromas of old oak, sweet bourbon, graham cracker, treacle, fruity raisins, slight smoke and rich toasted malts. Flavors of cognac, raisins, dark fruit, rich caramel, rye and toasted malts. Relatively boozy and sweet but understated for 15%. Big overall. Excellent.

Bit of a gusher ....
Pours medium darkened blonde, medium sized white head of good stability. Scent is Generic craft NA, sweet impressions allover. Taste is quite generic as well. malty, minor bitter touch, not enough to balance the heavy sweetness. Very forgeteable.
