One more Sahti. Not ours but from a friend of ours. He has brewed something like ten to fifteen batches of Sahti during the last 1.5 years. I had a chance to taste one of his first Sahtis last Christmas. His brewing experience is relatively short but his final products have been tasty.
This brew is dressed in murky, dark brown. The carbonation is, naturally, minimal. A hasty fawn lacing pops up on the surface and melts almost immediately away.
Banana is hefty in the fragrance. A bit overripe but more actually fresh or just ripe. Dark chocolate and cookie join the dance thereafter. The sweet scent promises a lot also for the tongue.
Banana is powerful on the tastebuds. Ripe but not fermented. Dark chocolate with a high cacao content is also surprisingly copious, escorted by a pinch of cookie. The hoppy sector is really narrow. Faint clove can be depicted but juniper is absent to me.
The body is light-medium to medium. The ABV is fairly low for the style but the body holds up the package nicely. The flavor composition carries over to the end pretty unchanged.
The mouthfeel is light-medium, lip-glueing, traditional, pastry-like and balanced. Due to the not-so-enormous ABV, this is easily gulpable.
