Bottle at silja line between Helsinki and Stockholm.
Tiny head. Almost totally black, just a bit brown on the tip. Nice dark caramell and roasted malty aroma. Sweet malty taste but still not a big body.
Balanced bitterness.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Very dark brown, minimal head. Aroma of licorice and treacle. Sweet with full body and dense, rounded mouthfeel. Licorice, caramel and coffee, some husky bread. Long bitter finish. A solid piece.

Huge thanks to Erzengel for sharing! Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass deep black, small head. Heavy malty aroma. Starts intense malty, loads of coffee, bitter chocolate, but also some sweetish hints. Dry and light bitter finish. Warming. Nice!

Many thanks to japppp. Intense smooth beginning. Slightly sourish with an intense stickiness. Black tar, intense brown sugar, very dry with a soft smooth silkiness. Very nice.
