yngwie (9196) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - APR 16, 2011
Bottle, 12oz. A clear, copper colored beer with a small, off-white head. The aroma is a bit weak, with caramel maltyness and some fruityness. The flavor is pretty much the same, rather boring that is. Caramel and some fruityness. A touch of bitterness towards the end. Some sourness, citric sourness. Overall, rather boring and uninteresting, was expecting more from Dark Horse. 110416
