Karschter Oktoberfestbier

Brewed by Brauhaus im Wurzgrund
Style: Dunkler Bock
Karlstadt, Unterfranken/Bayern, Germany

(From a wooden barrel@Oktoberfest, Helsinki) Very muddy brown color with almost no head. A bit smoky, yeasty and thick aroma with vegetable hints. Slightly sweet, sahti-like flavor with quite a lot of malt and hardly any hops. Medium-bodied, low-carbonated, slightly acidic, quite thick palate. A quite smooth and malty, as well as drinkable, but not very interesting.

Draught
Hazy dark nut brown, creamy quickly disappearing off-white head. Sweet yeasty, malty nose. Medium-bodied. Flat, low carbonation. Yeasty, baking soda flavors with light bitterness and roasted malts. Add juniper and you get sahti.
