33 cl bottle @ home. Aroma has chocolate. Flavour has salty licorice, some herbal tones and ash. A simple and straightforward IS with too much saltiness for my taste.

Tap at TCBF. Murky dark orange colour, small white head. Overriped pineapple and fruit candy in the nose. Medium-bodied. Malty, some pineapple, but quite dry. Some nasty hopburn in the finish. Not much juicyness in this one.

0,33l bottle from Alko. Very dark brown, actually almost black beer with brown head. Soft aroma has dark malts, roasted coffee and chocolate. Taste has dark roasted malts, coffee and dry, even bit spicy bitterness. Full- body, taste is quite straight with bitter coffee, but this works still!

33cl bottle from Stockmann Herkku, Turku. Pours dark golden to amber with a rather large, off-white head. Malty and fruity with notes of caramel, bread, mild citrus and hints of yeast and candy. Sweet and malty with mild hoppy notes and ditto bitterness. Feels a bit messy and fizzy, but fair enough.
