Sahti time! Homebrew time! Homebrew Sahti time. How clever!
This noble drink looks murky, medium brown. Basically no carbonation but a few big fawn bubbles emerge on the top and disappear hastily.
Alright, here we go! Let me inhale those intriguing aromas: banana spreads its attractive and style-typical nuances in the air. It's undeniably the winner of this game. Caramel, biscuit, raisin, date, faint milk chocolate and a whisper of clove follow on its footsteps, in this declining sequence. Hey, a good set of olfactory notes can't go wrong later either, can it?
The tongue can't ignore the big banana, it's so evident there. Slightly fermented and medium-sweet. Caramel and cookie whirl into the same concoction with raisin, milk chocolate, cacao nibs and a bit of biscuit dough. Suggestions of clove is the last in line together with equally modest juniper twig. Now the case is closed.
The body is medium-full. The ABV could build an even more robust maltbody but this is alright as it is. The end narrows down but retains its sweet-leaning character with the key inputs.
The mouthfeel is soft, smooth, medium-full and lip-glueing. I could add that I find the mouthfeel also deep, somewhat rich, definitely rustic and traditional, of course.
This is now lovely. I tasted this a week ago, that was at the age of two weeks, and it didn't impress me. Now, more than a week older, this is completely different. Enriched. Deepened. Evolved. Interesting how small a change in age can make such a big difference in taste. That's the beauty of Sahti!
