Hankala Asiakas: Kuukauden kohokohdat: marraskuu
Joulukuu on jo voiton puolella mutta silti ehtii tehdä pikakatsauksen marraskuulle. Kuun huippu oli Berliinin viikonloppu josta olikin erillinen tiivistelmä. Tässä muutama muu mainitsemisen arvoinen tältä erää.
Humaloitujen oluiden osastolla vakuuttivat jälleen kerran kotimaan Cool Head ja Donut Island. Insinööriarkkitehtitoimistolle tehty Digital Engineer’s Hazy Logic oli pikaisesti myynnissä myös Pienessä, mutta pääkallopaikalta noudettuna (kiitos!) saatu maistiainen oli erittäin maistuvat. Todella maistuvat ja vakuuttava makuprofiili alhaisiin prosentteihin nähden. Donut Islandin I Hop It’s Not A Problem #4 oli jälleen sarjassaan upeasti humaloitu ja tasapainoinen hanatuote. Siitä ei jäänyt sen tarkempia makuhavaintoja mutta sen hetken täppäyksen perusteella näytti maistuvat hyvin. Prairien kevyen kirpeät farmhouset alet ovat yleensä erittäin piristäviä ja laadukkaita eikä Twist ollut poikkeus. Miellyttävä brettaisuutta, heinälatoa, sadonkorjuuta, juustoisuutta ja kaikkea sitä, mitä tämän tyyppiseltä oluelta odottaisikin. Vuodesta toiseen, Prairie todistaa pitävänsä laatunsa korkealla ja juotavuudensa kunnossa.
Pyynikin Post Morten 2017 oli rusinainen, siirappinen, piimälimppuinen ja miellyttävän mämmimäinen 11% stout. Valitettavasti ensimmäinen vuosikerta meni ohi mutta tämä oli varsin miellyttävä. Kypsytyspotentiaaliakin vaikutti olevan. Allekirjoittaneelle uusi olutmaa, Slovenia, tarjoili yllättävän laadukkaan Batch #50 -nimisen imperial stoutin Reservoir Dogs Breweryltä. Tyylikkään paahteinen mutta konstailematon olut vakuutti paikallisen skenen tasosta, jos se onkaan mahdollista yhden oluen perusteella. Pitää varmasti käydä tarkistamassa asian laita paikan päällä. Länsinaapurin Duggesin Cocoa Cacao oli aikuisten kaakaota. Lähes keinotekoisen aidon tuntuinen maitokaakaon ja maitosuklaan sekoitus lähestulkoon vaarallisen juotavassa muodossa. Panimo on vakuuttanut aiemminkin ja tämä oli yksi paremmista ko. panimolta.
