yngwie (10798) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - NOV 9, 2012
Bottle, 75cl. An almost clear one, lighlty sparkling and amber in color and with a small off-white head. Lovely sugary, syrypy I guess, aroma with dried fruits, caramel, piney hops and a touch of alcohol. Quite complex, and that goes for the flavor too. Lots of sweetness showing up in the mouth after the swallow, with a fine bitterness, lots of dried fruits, some caramel and alcohol. A quite lovely one, damn tasteful and complex. 121109
