Laitilan Kievari Mämmi

Brewed by Laitilan Wirvoitusjuomatehdas
Style: Vienna
Laitila, Finland

Draught (Helsinki Beer Festival 2009) - Copper brown in colour. Fruity aroma with hints of Dundee cake. Fruity and slightly hoppy taste with raisins and other dried fruits.

courtesy of oh6gdx - clear amber colour, no foam left; aroma of flowers, mint and caramel; moderate malt body, sweet with some tartness; short and slightly dry earthy and flowery finish

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, metal, and a bit of fruit, leading to a dry metallic finish.

Bottle 0,5 l. Clear golden amber, small head. Nose has some mämmi in there, mostly regular malts with maybe some liqourice. Flavor is a bit like amber ale or a light dunkel with an interesting twist in the end which does resemble mämmi/malts. Not a bad one, quite balanced. With a different label/name this might be more than just a curiousity.

Milky aroma, some toffee too. Bright clear red. A tad vegetal and mushroomy, but I was able to overlook that after a few sips. Becomes sweeter and more like a simple dunkel. Finish is sweet too. Not as horrific as the others make it out to be. Has nothing to do with mämmi at all.

50 cL bottle. Pours slight cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is malty, light roasted and vague metallic. Bitter, roasted caramelish and vague metallic flavoured. Dry and bitter flavoured finish.

Clear amber with a medium off white head. Sweet aroma with toasted malt and caramel notes. Flavour had roasted malt and caramel notes. Finished sweet.

Bottle from Tbone, drunk @ Grasstrack Races Lattrop. Caramel aroma. Caramelly sweet, malty flavor with some milk chocolate and a nutty bitterness, especially in the aftertaste.
