Poured from a 500ml can. It has a mahogany red body with visible carbonation and a medium off-white head.
It has an aroma of dark malts, dried fruit, plum and caramel. It also feels slightly dusty.
The taste has roasted malts with decent amount of hops and slight sweetness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and medium bitter. The aftertaste is warmly bitter, malty, metallic and slightly smokey.
A decent dark lager.

Even though this one is filed as a Euro Pale Lager the Finnish label purports it's a dark Christmas lager. Available during christmas time in Finland.
A: Color is pretty nice with a bronze-ish look, although light for a "dark" ale . Produces a quickly dissipating meager foam typical of Finnish lagers.
S: Slightly metallic with hints of hop and possibly something remotely resembling a dark lager. Overal resembling a neutral pale lager.
T: If you were expecting anything more than average you'll be dissapointed. The taste is very neutral, slightly metallic, with some hops and medium carbonation. Nothing bad here but doesn't stand out in any way. Taste is short. Mouthfeel is light and reasonably pleasent.
D: Drinkable even in larger quantities as it's not unpleasent in any particular way. That is, if total mediocricity isn't a turnoff for you.
Overall it's a bland barely dark lager that does top some lager's with a crisp but non-offending taste. However there's little to justify the christmas tag as there's not much extra aroma or spices to be found.
