yngwie (9175) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAR 18, 2011
Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. A light brown head of moderate size sits on top of a clear dark chestnut body. Roasted, almost burnt maltyness in the aroma, quite fruity and with a touch of prunes. A bit thin on the palate, with roasted malts, some coffee and a little fruityness. Lacks a bit on hoppy bitterness and flavor I think, but overall, a pleasant beer. 110318
