Hibernation Ale
Served to me in a tulip glass at City Tap House. A little too cold for my liking and no head to speak of when it was presented to me. Can't blame the beer but rather the service. A: a clear ruby amber with mahagony tints. Some decent carbonation going on. S: smells of dark fig, caramel, some chocolate, a little molasses, some brown sugar. A little dark cherry sweetness in the aroma. Perhaps a little vanilla and spicy hop aromas in the nose. T: everything I smell I taste. Very nice malt complexity going on in this one. M: chewy thick mouthful. A tad sweet, but understandable with all the malt character. O: a great winter time beer. Would love to grab a sixer of this (or more) and sip during a cold winter night.
