1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Caramel hue and flecks of froth. Caraway rye bead and a soft doughy element set against dried leaves; a touch of alcohol. The scales tip towards the malts but it’s well attenuated. Hops and alcohol nibble in the slick finish; light carbonation.
Outmanoeuvred by Karhu’s Tosi Vahva in this weight class, but why not just grab a Koff Porter?
33cl bottle, best before 10.2008.
