yngwie (9175) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - JUL 22, 2011
Bottle, 75cl corked. A more or less clear one, reddish brown in color and with a dense, finger-thick off-white head. Slightly yeasty on the nose, with dried fruits, spice notes and pear drops. Quite sugary on the palate, full-bodied and with a pleasant carbonation. Lasting sweetness in the end. Well, considering it’s from Het Anker it’s disappointing, else it’s quite decent. 110722
