Hartwall Dark Lager on tumman pehmeä pohjahiivaolut. Tummat erikoismaltaat antavat oluelle makeahkon, karamellimaisen maun; tuoksussa tuntuu tsekkiläisen Saazer-jalohumalan aromi.

Bottled (true vintage, BBE 2003, enjoyed in 03/2013). Very deep ambery brown colour with a mediumsized slightly off-white head. Aroma is caramel, some slight burnt sugary notes as well as some mild toasted notes. Slight ripe fruit as well, which may be a result of oxidation. Flavour is mild roasted malts, some caramel and burnt sugar along with mild some slight raisiny notes. Doesn’t taste cardboardy or sweetly oxidized, so this beer has actually held the 10 years or so rather well. I’ve had way worse fresh beers.

(500 ml bottle, in Helsinki). Dark brown colour, good head, moderate but decent aroma - and then: Bland, boring flavour when you expect the richness of a good dunkel. Short aftertaste. Disappointing. All Norwegian dunkels are better than this Finnish stuff.
