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!

A black beer, a head is quite small and brown. Aroma has roastiness, berries, light barrel and dried fruitness. Taste has caramel, roastiness, some berries and barrel, quite sweet. Full bodied. Too sweet, but nice beer, anyway.

Pours black, no head. Scent is bourbon, oak, fairly roasty. Not as rye-forward as expected. Taste is full, more rye forward here, roasty, fairly 'thin' and thus surprisingly drinkable. Low carbo. Medium intense barrel. booze is hidden.

Opaque colour, tiny beige head. Nose has rye bread, soya sauce, dark malts and touch of chocolate. Medium to full-bodied. Balanced, not too sweet, not too alcoholic. Rye bread, whiskey, roasted malts in the flavour. Nice spicey touch from rye. Awesome.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.2%. Slightly hazy pale straw colour, huge white head. Aroma of wheat, orange peel and solvent, a hint of banana. Fizzy mouthfeel. Flavour with the same elements as the aroma, hints of spices, very moderate bittering hops.
