Bottled (BB 04/2005, bottle says "Münchener beer")
Clear amber color with quickly vanishing head and lots of CO2. Sweetish herbal hops aroma. Taste has barley malts, quite thin bodied. Fading oily aftertaste. (5/3/4/2/10 2.4).
Re-rate, can (BB 09/2009). Clear amber color, good off-white head. Weak nose has cracker-grainy malts and grassy hops with light note of toasted caramel. Very light palate. Caramel malty, but not really sweet as flavor has grassy hoppyness with grainy malty finish. Easy-going. (5/3/5/2/10 2.5)

Pale yellow color, small white head (quite steady). Aroma has sweet malts with light sourness. Light to medium malty body with light sourness in flavor too - a bit like some Russian lagers. Slightly hoppy bitter, harsh finish. Quite standard Finnish bulk lager.

Bottled 2004 version (BB 06/2005)
Dark brown, almost opaque. Quickly fanishing head. Lively carbonation - this is like Coca cola. Sweet, roasted, a bit malty dunkel-like nose. Malty and roasted but harsh, unbalanced mouthfeel. Long bitter-harsh aftertaste. I can’t find much Christmas here (6/4/4/2/11 2.7) Re-rated 2005 version
Black color with disappearing head. A bit skunky, burned bread aroma. Medium bodied. Good roasted bread malty very German schwarzbier flavor. Sweet corn in the finish. (5/3/5/3/11 2.7)

Bottled, unfiltered (BB 12/2004)
Dark ruby with tanned medium head. Sweet aroma: raisins. Crisp, freshing, malty, a bit thin. Aftertaste is bitterish, crispy. (6/4/6/4/14 3.4)
Re-rated, bottled, new label "Kommodori" (BB 06/2005)
Dark ruby, vanishing tanned head. Lots of carbonation, like a Coke. A bit skunked hoppy and caramel nose. Good malty body, lots of CO2 in mouthfeel + some roasty tones, finishing slightly hoppy. Lacks harshness of normal Finnish lager but nothing very special. (5/4/5/3/12 2.9)

The aroma is very sweet with notes of nuts and a little chocolate. The color is a hazy dark brown and it has a fine but collapsing light brown head. The flavor is a little odd: only slightly sweet - it is dominated by a malt bitterness with some roasted chocolate notes - it ends on a dryness from the malt bitterness. It is very (too) carbonated. The body is very thin.
