Nokian Panimo is one of the middle-sized breweries of Finland. It prides itself in being an honest, independent brewery. Keisari (Finnish for emperor) is their brand and Keisari Kellari (Finnish for cellar) is a hand-brewed lager beer, more specifically an unfiltered cellar beer. It can be found in supermarkets in Finland and definitely offers a more interesting variety of flavors than the 'basic beers' of Finland.
Taste: The unfiltered character of the beer becomes clear in its full-bodied malty flavour. It is quite thick, sweet and bready, with a hint of yeast. Reminiscent of home-brewed beer, which in this case is a good thing, since it gives character to this supermarket-available beer. Maybe a bit musty towards the end.
A good choice if you are into beers with more character and taste than the bulk products and choose to enjoy a single beer instead of gulping down a case. However, does not deliver strong aromas and in this way reminds a home-brewed beer. This might be a good or a bad thing, depending on the drinker.
