On a snowy April day, a beer called hibernation ale sounded like a good idea. Nice beer, one of the better winter seasonals I’ve had in a while. Fruity, but the bitter aftertaste brings its score down a bit.

Sep 25, 2008 This has a beautiful deep red color with a thin residual head. The aroma is full of toffee, grains, and malt. The body is full and tastes of malty goodness, with only mild bitterness underneath. It finishes with a malty, grainy aftertaste. This graininess isn’t quite a barnyard wet blanket flavor, but a subtle form of that. The alcohol is slightly noticeable and contributes to the experience. Overall it’s a very tasty, interesting beer.

Sep 25, 2008 Pours a hazy orange with small tan head. Pick up some sweetness and alcohol in the nose. Flavor is unusual. Cocoa, vegetal, malty, sweet, bitter. This was a pretty fresh bottle, so i’d be interested in trying some vintage stuff.

Sep 24, 2008 i’ve always been a fan of this brew.This is 04 Vintage! Pours a medium dark amber but still see thru! Small head and medium bodied. Smell is of brown roasted sugar and malt. Taste Has mellowed. I Think i’ve caught this one at it’s peek. Usually i think of this one as a great chocolate milk for adults.This beer is good,and all flavors have married. Cheers Conway!!!!!

Sep 19, 2008 The bottle looks really good, the beer in the glass also. Very complex aroma. Starts very strong and intense - like a barleywine. A bit roasty-smoky, becomes milder in the end. Very good beer!
