Description
Takatalo & Tompuri Brewery is located in the heart of the picturesque Finnish countryside in Virolahti—just 165 kilometers from Helsinki. We combine ancient farming techniques with the most modern brewery technologies in a unique way.

We grow malting barley and oat on our own fields, source the water from own well, and smoke the malt in our brewery to ensure the high quality of each bottle of our award-winning beers. Our beer is truly sustainable and locally produced. We grow beer!

The name of our beer, Kaski, derives from the traditional Finnish agricultural method of creating fields for crops and fertile soil by slashing and burning plots of forestland. With respect to our forefathers’ and foremothers’ hard work, we proudly call our beer Kaski.

330ml bottle, Gyle 185, thanks to djoeye for sharing. Clear amber coloured body under a covering pearl white head, fair lacing. Bread and mid-dry fruit on the nose. Taste quite fine with bread, biscuit and ripe fruits. Rounded malt-fruity ending, semi-dry. Pretty alright, (Rating session with Finn and djoeye, PivotekaH7, Tromsø 10.02.2021).

330ml bottle, many thanks to djoeye for sharing. Patchy surface, deep rosewood body, spotty lacing. Inviting smell of roasted malts, hints of grainy chocolate. Prominent caramel-chocolate flavours added by dark dough and a coffee note towards a roasted bitter end. Likable, a bit thin in the mouth though. (Rating session with djoeye and Finn, PivotekaH7, Tromsø 03.02.2021).

Thanks to djoeye for sharing a 330ml bottle of this one. Misty amber body, filmy layer, spotty lacing. Moderate malt-fruity nose, dry. Bread and fruit to the taste character added by a touch of caramel. Malt-fruity ending, semi-sweet. Satisfying. (Rating session with Finn and djoeye, PivotekaH7, Tromsø 03.02.2021).
