yngwie (9175) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 20, 2011
Bottle, 150cl, corked. 2008 vintage. It’s a murky brown beer with a dense, but small, beige head. Chocolatey aroma with a nice hoppyness. Some alcohol too. The flavor has a nice blend of chocolatey maltyness and hoppy bitterness, with some grapefruit hints and alcohol. Warming and full-bodied. A quite nice one, but a bit chocolatey and malty. Wouldn’t mind having it again though. 110820
