Bottle (from Alko web). Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, syrup, some Portwine sweetness with mild vanilla and soem slight alcohol tones too. Flavour is liquorice, syrup, chocolate, some maderia and mild lingonberries. Alcohol gives a quite sharp sting.

25cl on tap at the brewery. Pitch black with a modest, beige head. Roasty, smooth and vineous with some slightly acidic notes. Balanced, flavourful and surprisingly enjoyable.

Fairly light, sweet, roasty. Dark roast filter coffee, heavy malty backbone, some bourbon, a bit bitter, some dark berries in the finish. A no-nonsense baltic porter, very nice.

330ml bottle. Sweet, syrupy and slightly roasty with loads of sherry notes, oak, wood, coffee, licorice, dark chocolate and dessert wine notes. Slightly unbalanced, a bit harsh on the roastiness and too sweet on the dessert wine notes. Okay still.

33cl bottle from Alko. Poured near black in color with a thin brown head. Molasses, roasted malt, rye bread in aroma. Sweetness, licorice, chocolate in flavor. Fairly dry finish, very malty, ashy. Complex. Still not a fan of molasses in beer.
