Sinebrychoff Brewery

Karhu Täyttä Olutta

Sinebrychoff porter. I rarely put beers on here but this is a special one. Started by a Russian--that's Синебрюхов to you--now a very small tentacle of the Carlsberg octopus. Brewed and bottled in Finland, this is _the_ Baltic porter, a fabulously pleasing accord of dark malts, coffee, and chocolate. All with a lovely prominent bitter note , like Susan Sontag's streak of grey. Properly bone-dry with an ABV of only 7.2%. This bottle is ten years old and only just starting to fade. — 8 years ago

Estate Willamette Valley Grüner Veltliner 2014

First non-Austrian Grüner! Pretty impressed. This is a good case for the Willamette's suitability for this variety. As you'd expect a bit riper and weightier than a lot of Austrian examples, but definitely showing varietal typicity. Nose of ripe green apple, ripe honeydew melon, and grapefruit, wet stone minerality (that actually kinda reminds me of the granite beaches of the Finnish gulf coast and archipelago), celery, sugar snap peas, slight fennel seed note, and some leesy hard cheese rind action going on too. The palate echoes the nose pretty congruently, sitting on a taught frame of intense acidity. Medium (-) body with leesy, oily texture. I might be slightly biased since this wine kinda makes me nostalgic for Finland but it's pretty damn good. Would like to revisit in a few more years. — 8 years ago

Dicen que la mejor Ginebra del mundo, hecha en Finlandia específicamente para el Gin Tonic.
Yo creo que es ULTRA botánica. La sutileza no es lo suyo. Pero tiene algo...

Exquisite Brunello di Montalcino. Artisan organic winery. My first Brunello ever was 2004 vintage in Firenze on my birthday five years ago. Great notes of earth and ripe cherry. Tipica comes clearly on the nose.
Full body, medium plus acidity and dusty tannins.
Absolutely gorgeuous! Happy 100th birthday Finland!

Very nice, found from monopoly Alko in Finland. Usually I haven't checked Pinot Noir from Arg, but that clearly has been a mistake. Good for just drinking ir pizza and such lighter food. — 9 years ago
