330ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Tiny fawn-coloured head, poor lacing, near-black with a deep dark brownish shade. Black malty aromas, carefully roasted, and with a vanilla scent. The taste profile follows suit with vanilla chocolate, liquorice, and soot, not overdone lactose beneath. Smoothly roasted ending with sweet chocolate malts. Fine depth. Decent sipper qualities enjoyed on a Maundy Thursday afternoon. (Tromsø 14.04.2022).

Opaque colour, small off-white head .Toasted, a bit perfumic, marshmallow aroma. Medium-bodied. Sweetish flavour is marshmallow, vanilla sugar, some cocoa notes, alcohol is hidden. Okish but a bit simple and perfumic.
330ml bottle. Pitch black with a tan head. Aroma of dark malts, marshmallows. Taste of dark malts, chocolate, vanilla/marshmallows, molasses, brown sugar, not too sweet as there's still some mild roastiness. Medium bodied. Lovely.
33cl bottle from Sip, Tallinn. Pours close to pitch black with a fast dissipating, beige head. Sweet aroma of roasted malt with mild smokey notes, vanilla and fluffy candy. Smooth, sweet and rather desserty. Works better than I feared when I first heard about it; not a favourite, but certainly drinkable.
