Draught. Very oily, brown orange-body, no head. Exteme palate, thick, oily, feels like drinking pig’s grease! Toffee, juniper, strawberry, even coffee in the aroma. Taste strong of juniper, kiwi and pineapple. Dude! (Weird comments on my papers today.)

Draught at SOPP 2008, Helsinki. Hazy brown color, fairly muddy. Sweet aroma with plenty of banana and toffee, some smoke and tobacco as well as hints of juniper, good aroma! Sweet, very worty and toffeish flavor with banana, hints of juniper and hints of smoke. Smooth milky mouthfeel with some astringency (yeast?) in the finish. Very smooth and rich with nice smokey nuance!

Draught (SOPP2007, Helsinki). Muddier than the usual sahti, perhaps a little offputing. However, the sweet caramelly bananas and juniper soon take your mind off the look. A little oily palate. Classic example of the style.<br /> Had again SOPP2008 - just as good - beautiful. Even more oily.
