Amber colored, big rocky head, doesn’t last long though. Caramel and cherry aroma. Thick, sticky mouthfeel. Sweetish flavour with faint notes of chocolate and vanilla. Warming alcohol-finish.

Pale yellow, small foamy white head. Typical Koff-metallic aroma. Very light-bodied and carbonated palate. Not much flavor at all and no aftertaste. Like drinking Bud Lite or something.

Dark honey color. Small white head. Malty and metallic aroma. Medium-bodied, malty, slightly metallic finish. Maltier and has more body than the most of Finnish bulk lagers.

Dark honey color, medium foamy head, some lace. Slightly hoppy aroma with a metallic tone. This one has clearly more malty body than other Sinebrychoff lagers. Watery, slightly sweet finish. (5/2/6/3/9 2.5)

They call this now Nikolai Premium
Deep golden yellow, nice foamy white head, some lace. Malty cardboard aroma. Malty with harsh bitterness in the finish. Some sweetness in the start and finish. Ok with food (sausages) and sauna, otherwise forget it. (3/3/3/2/8 1.9)

Pale lager color, small white head, some lace. Aroma is hoppy. Light malty body and some (but not much) bitter aftertaste. A decent lager to being an extra cheap bulk lager from Sinebrychoff.

This 150th Anniversary beer will retire next week. So it was time to rate it - I am living some 200m from the brewery :) Clear dark amber color, vanishing average white head. Aroma is very malty, very lightly with metallic "Koff"-aroma. Malty body, typical dunkel flavor is on the background. Some taste of sugar. Short hoppy finish. Good as a lager, but just an average dunkel.
