3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 yngwie (9201) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - OCT 31, 2011
Bottle at Ølfestival 2011. A clear, dark chestnut colored beer with a minimal sized off-white head. Roasted nose with dried fruits, raisins mostly, and coffee notes. Dried fruits, caramel, coffee-like roastyness and a decent fruity hoppyness. Medium to full body, quite dry. The finish is long and dry, with caramel and dried fruits. Not really sure about this one, it’s a quite nice beer, but considering it’s a winter beer, or even worse, if it’s supposed to be a Christmas beer, the name suggests the latter, it’s not complex and tasteful enough. Ok, so it’s tasteful and it washes down easily, but it’s not a Christmasy beer in my book. Still, I like it. 110527

3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Vignale (913) - Malmö, SWEDEN - SEP 2, 2011
Mörkt mahognyfärgad med lågt beige skum. Söt doft av torkad frukt, knäck och blommig engelsk humle. Fyllig rostad kropp med med chokladkaraktär. Dessutom hårdrostat kaffe, katrinplommon, lite soja, sötlakrits och muskovadosocker. Många söta referenser med andra ord men med en beska och starka som matchar det väl. Lång och mycket god eftersmak. Kanske lite väl mycket restsötma kvar som blir lite väl sött i längden.

Thanks to tkrjukoff for this bottle. Very nice dark brown/red color, white head. Smells a little weird, like some sort of berries or cherries. Taste also pretty sweet to me. Carbo and body decent. Weird when you expect a porter, although the commercial description already says it’s not really a porter (thanks Timo for translating that to me) but more something like a ’dark ale’.
