Can from Tbone, thanks! Dark brown color. Grainy aroma and flavor with apple syrup and a hint of cheap milk chocolate. Sweetish, short aftertaste. Sticky mouthfeel. Disappointing.

Can 500ml (BB 05/2010, from Viking Line tax free).
Dark ruby color, decent creamy beige head. Caramelly, a bit chocolaty and roasted ryeish aroma. Fizzy carbonation. Some caramel (although mouthfeel is dry), paper, roasted malts, a bit burnt finish with dry cheapish hops. Clean but unexiting as Olvis are always. Also too carbonated.

(Can - 4.3 % version, thanks mto) Brown colour with hints of red. Clear. Medium sized white head that lasts for a moment. Malts, roastedness and bit of metallicness in aroma. Quite light bodied palate with medium carbonation. Malts, lighltly roastedness, caramell, bitterness and lightly sweetness in taste. Burnt and bitter aftertaste. Easy to drink but boring.

Canned. Amber colour, medsiumszed off-white head. Aroma is quite much caramel malts, some sweetness as well as mild hoppyness. Flavour is quite much the same, sweet finish.
