bottle. pours a thick almost black with little head. has a sweet, fruity aroma. has a sweet flavor. hints of sugar and apples. does not taste nearly as dark as it looks.

Bottled. Near black body with tall tan head. Malty nose. Sweet taste of caramel, sugar, malty. Carbonated and a bit watery. But nice to try.

0.33 l bottle. Dark reddish brown with creamy peige head. Weak aroma with molasses, licorice and yeast (pullataikina). Sweet and sugary flavor with molassess, licorice and yeast. I can barely detect the taste of malts, hops or fermentation, this is all about dark sugar.

Bottle. Pours a clear black with reddish hues and a dense tan head that leaves chunky lacing. The nose is roasted malt and mild dark fruits. Taste is caramel, light chocolate and sweet fruits. Light to medium mouth feel. Meh, kinda boring but nothing flawed.

355 ml bottle. Finland. Almost black colour with small brown head. Weak milky and malty aroma. Flavour is also quite weak. Malts. Sour. And some sweetness. Not very interesting. Quite carbonated.

(Bottled) Very dark brown with a smallish, beige head. Roasty and slightly milky-sourish aroma with hints of licorice. Milky-sourish-malty, sweetish flavor with raspberries. Medium, slicky-velvety body with medium carbonation. In a way different, yet overall pretty boring and simple. Mouthfeel is surprisingly full and silky, though, without excess sweetness.

Quite the same as the commercial description, but more velvet than silk and less bragging
