Hibernation Ale
Sweet, spicy, and flavorful, spoiled by on odd finish ___ A: Deep pumpkin brown hazy body with a half finger somewhat persistent yellowed white head S: Candied prune, a bit of spice, and maybe a hint of diacetyl. Not very fragrant, simple, but pleasant enough. T: A lot more flavor than I expected from the nose... plenty of drying hops going around... the sweet spiced prune takes a back seat. Malt foundation is unfortunately fairly weak, and there is a slightly odd metallic taste, apparent most in the finish. M: has a nice heft to it with pleasant carbonation, but something about the metallic taste seems to be affecting mouthfeel negatively. D: Tasty while in the mouth, but the odd finish wears on you.
