Black color. The aroma has a medium strength, a good mix of dark caramel and smoke, and some chocolate. The body is lean, not too strong initially but getting a bit bolder later; the flavor is dominated by the chocolate, with some caramel and smoke, and just some residual sweetness. Correct bitterness. Well brewed and pleasant.

(Bottle. Thanks to SaintMatty) Very dark colour, almost black with ruby hints when seen through light. Frothy, beige head. Smoky, roasted nose with notes of roasted malt, ashes, dark chocolate, dark bread and lots of smoke. Roasted, malty taste with dark chocolate, dark rye bread, smoked ham and toasted grain. Medium body, rather dry with a mild coffee bitterness in the finish. Smoke is more prominent in the aroma than in the flavour. Well balanced and tasty smoked beer.

Bottled (Eat&Joy, BB 05/2010)
Dark ruby color, steady creamy beige head. Artifical chocolate and cocoa in the strong nose. Flavor has some chocolate but less than in Pääsiäisolut. More malty and hoppy flavors instead. Tasting a bit like standard Vienna mixed with artifical chocolate aroma and flavor.

50cl bottle. Pours a dark, almost black color, with a thin white head. Roasted malt aroma, flavor of chocolate, malt and liquorice. Nice sweet touch to it, a nice schwarzbier.

500 ml bottle sampled@RBNAG 2009, Vatlandsvåg. Black body with a small, dense and diminishing beige head. Aroma of smoked malt, coffee, bullion and dry meat. Flavor is sweet, smoked malt, leather, tar and a hint of roasted bacon. Moderate bitter and relatively light body concerning all the present flavors. A bit unusually and interesting, nothing unpleasant, but not very balanced and not totally successfully either.

Draught @William K, Helsinki. Almost black in color with a thin beige head. Smokey aroma with some berries also. Medium body, warm feel from the alcohol, but otherwise well hidden. Flavor is quite sweet with some smoke and juniper, bit sour at the end. Medium body.
