Ska Brewing Hibernal Vinifera Stout

Okay, this is a different one.  I don't normally take grape juice in my stouts, but after having the Hibernal Vinifera Stout from Ska Brewing, i'm willing to change my stance on that.  It's cool.  I can admit when i'm wrong.  The beer pours a dark black with a light brown head.  The initial aromas consist of roasted malt, chocolate, and a little bit of alcohol.  The taste combines those elements with some lovely fruit notes from the grape juice.  It's sweet and bitter and smooth.  I found these very, very easy to drink, and they were an excellent companion for the cold nights we had in Austin last week.

Visit the brewer.
