Jyväkurkku is a seasonal lifesaver for the longest and shittiest season in Finland: late autumn-early winter. These dark, cold, wet and deeply depressing months will really make you yearn for something stronger. Mahogany to ruby color, deep malt flavors rich in melanoidins and prunes. Enough alcohol to make/keep you hibernating. Try with stuffy foods like roasts, heavy stews and cheezy platters.
