Pours dark brown with an ok head. When it comes to aroma there’s not much going on really; a little bit of sweet toffee maybe. Flavour is quite sweet and dominated by thick toffee and some liquorice. I wouldn’t call this a Vienna.

Canned. This is a real mess. First - this beer comes with a name that is bound to be used by 60 or so breweries. Secondly - the name of the brewer is withheld by purpose, as after Carlsberg took over Sweden's two largest breweries it was ruled by the EU that they had a big share of the Swedish beer market and thus in a monopoly situation. What they did was they continued to brew all their brands but some were sold by a different company, namely the fake brewery Three Towns Independent Brewers. This is one of those... Anyway. The beer itself is far from a poor effort. It pours pale golden with very little head, and has a fairly nice flowery aroma. It is clean and medium bodied with quite a bitter finish.

Bottled. Deep golden colour. Slight citrusy hop aroma. Some crystal malt character. Surprisingly malty, but with coarse, bold mouthfeel. Fruity and sweet with medium bitterness. Surprisingly flavourful lager from a big brewer.

Dark, almost black colour. Smokey aroma. Chocolatey, somewhat smokey/burnt flavour. Dry finish. High drinkability. Almost as good as the stronger version.
