tap with 5000 and ratman. red brown with a minimal head. fruity chocolate biscuit flavor. much more of a floral note going on compared to the standard hibernation. dusty chocolate tortilla flavor(i have no idea what that means either, but i wrote it down) dark fruit flavors are more pronounced as this warms, the fig/plum/something gets much more dominant. still is a strong malty beer, but i think i prefer the non belgian version. damn a lot of berry is going on in this thing. 4 6 7 4 13

On tap @ Great Divide tasting room poured a hazy copper brown with a minimal lingering amber head. Aromas of carmel, fruitiness and toffee. Palate was medium bodied and smooth with a dry finish. Flavors of toffee, burnt carmel, light fig and light prune with a crisp dry bitter finish.
