An off white foamy three finger head is formed with a styrofoam like cap. Body is a light amber with some small rising carbonation, but some hazy qualities also. Opaque with lingering specks.

Giant brown spices of burnt clove, cinnamon, herbaceous tea qualities and brown sugar. Just wonderful feels like pipping fresh tea.

Sweet aromatic brown spices in the palate that match the nose come forth finishing with banana like esters. Spice brown bark heat in the swallow, with a full malty almost doppelbock like feel in the body. Slow lingering stomach warming booze but not in taste like a great winter warmer.

Overall just a great unique tasting drink. Can't really compare it to any other Sahti's would love to, and this is my first one, however, it would be nice to tasty something from the real country. Regardless, I really really enjoy this but it quite different.

look: 3.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5

P: A vivacious apricot body housing a multitude of floaters. A nice off white bubbly thin head that has decent retention. Wet bubbly lacing that sloshes the sides but doesn't stick.

S: Cinnamon, chai, vanilla, toasted rye bread, spicy booze and juniper berries. Aroma is a cross between pumpkin pie and a chai latte.

T/M: Cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, clove, juniper berries and rye bread create a cornucopia of lavish flavors. Toasted grains, chai, musty wood, dank yeast and boozy fruit follow. The aggressive effervesce leaves a tingly peppered palate. Saison like.

O: This reminds me of gulab jamun but with more natural earthy essence and a dialed down syrupy sweetness. Super complex brew that has layers upon layers building an ever evolving flavor profile.
