Our Tastes-- Great Divide Hibernation Ale

Hibernation Ale tastes strangely similar to a brew either I have brewer or tasted already. There is a Batch #25 Baltic Porter and Raison D'Etre feel to it. It pours a deep ruby mahogany, flat head with little lattice. The nose is strong alcohol with malts and raisins along with the same taste since 1995. Several medals from GABF and WBC on this one. I picked this little beauTAY up from Arctic Liquors where Leif Ericksson is the owner who made the suggestion (way to go, you Norse). Cellared after bottling then released for only 6 weeks between November 1 and December 15th, this may be my new fav winter warmer. At the very end you get a smoked and dry-hopped feel that's ever so subtle. 8.1%abv doesn't hurt either.
