Malty Christmas to all Pint Please folks! May good beers be with you today and forever!! 🎄🎅🏼🤶🏻🎁🍗🍻 I start the Christmas festivities with our own Christmas Sahti. It developed a bit strongish... Let's see. The color is murky, medium-brown. The carbonation is negligible just like the style goes. A few fawn bubbles emerge on the top and die fast. Banana finds my nose first. Somewhat fermented but not entirely though. Biscuit and a proposal of raw chocolate join the ride. There's one more note that keeps me waiting a bit and it's clove. Very remote but recognizable. The taste is astonishingly soft and easy, despite the fairly strong ABV. Alcohol is just nowhere. Banana is attractive on the tongue, partly fermented, partly only overripe. Raw chocolate overcomes biscuit this time. Accompaniments include juniper, rye malt, graham cracker and distant clove. Beautiful, veeeery traditional! The body is medium-full. Could be bigger, of course, but this is sufficient. The finish lifts dark and raw chocolate higher and brings in slightly sharp elements, too. This is the point where alcohol can be felt if any. The mouthfeel is medium-full, lip-glueing, smooth, somewhat viscous, relatively deep and intriguingly warming. Traditional. +0.1 extra stars for keeping alcohol in tight control.
