5 Not much aroma, simple sweetish roasty malts.
4 Looks pretty OK, as a dunkel should, nice head, quite viscous.
5 Full sweetish malty roast, maybe a little astringent and metallic in places, but only slightly. Not a bad beer.
3 Full smooth palate, OK carbonation. Not much complexity to the finish, mostly the continuation of the taste.
10 Does what it says on the tin. Kinda brown. I liked it as a fullsome sauna drink at the Nokia team social a couple of weeks back, where I didn’t realise it was a tick. Hence the slightly sketchy recollection.

Can. Nice head with good duration. Color is brown. Aroma and taste are malt with toasted notes, notes of nuts, caramel and hops.

50 cl, canned. Pours reddish beer with a thin beige head. Aroma: Caramel, malt, hops. Taste: Moderate sweetness. Palate: Watery. Blah

500ml can. Pours a dark cola with a large white head, quite nice to look at. Unfortunately that’s the best part of the beer. Aroma is soapy, rubbery, metallic. Taste is slightly roasty, hints of coffee, unfortunately a bit of the metal and soapiness as well. Palate is carbonated and light. Just not very good at all. Down the drain most of it.

Quite good dark lager for a finnish food store. Still untasty, nothing to remember.

Dark brown with head that disappears away faster than you can say "oh, hi Mark". No strong aromas here. Flavour is a bit smoky with roasted malts. A bit of caramel malts on the nose too. Eh, I’d say this is a pretty decent dark lager.
