COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Karhu Korpisavu on tumman kuparin värinen ja maultaan täyteläinen, savuaromin ryydittämä olut. Karhu Korpisavusta aistii lupauksen pitkän vaelluksen päättävästä lämmittävästä nuotiosta. Korkkaa huurteisen kylmänä ja nauti. Karhu on täyttä olutta.

33 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 30.09.2009
Aroma is somewhat stale with grainy malt, some hay and something close to smoke. Flavour has mild smoky notes, grainy malt and hints of corn. A bit sticky finish. I find no use for this, there’s just so many better mildly smoked beers available.

Bottled. This copper coloured beer is basically Karhu III with added artificial smoke aroma but it’s better. Quite sweet malty taste with the fake smoke. I still liked this more than the stronger Korpisavu version.

Psytron (874) - Turku, FINLAND - AUG 1, 2011
The lesser version of Korpisavu IV. And in general a lesser version of any rauchbier.

Tastes quite like regular finnish lager. Does not remind me of the "real" smoked beer.

BeerBaboon (1197) - FINLAND - DEC 12, 2010
Kuparin värinen, vähäisellä vaahdolla varustettu olut. Savuinen, makeiden maltaiden aromi. Makean maltainen savun maku. Pientä hedelmäisyyttä myös. Hyvä maitokauppaolut hyvällä hinta/laatu-suhteella.

yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - OCT 2, 2010
Bottle. A clear, amber beer topped by a diminishing off-white head leaving lacings. It’s smoked on the nose, woody and meaty, with some fruity notes. Smoked, fruity and slightly malty flavor with a fruity, bitter hoppyness. Medium to full body, a bit low on carbonation I think. The finish is smoked, meaty and a bit fruity. Overall, quite boring, but I like the woody smoke, especially in the aroma. The flavor is rather boring and uninteresting, but definitely not bad. 101002
