Hibernator
Pours hazed - somewhat murky - brown with a thin tan head that leaves a bit of lacing. The smell is of light roasted caramelish maltiness. The smell is of sweet malt with a bit of roast and a metallic touch. There is something Scotch-ale-ish giong on. Malty - though a bit light - with a hint of roast and a touch of bitterness. Sweetness turns to a late bitterish dryness. There is a thinness about it for a winter ale, but it isn't watery and manages to hit medium-bodied. Carbonation could be eased up a bit. Although it's not heavy and the abv is relatively mild for a winter brew, there is a limitation on the drinkability - maybe just that it is anything particularly special, IMO. Worth checking out though, as a lighter winter ale.
