Our experience brewing traditional ales & lagers has helped us win awards in styles classic and creative. With beautiful views of slate roofed barns and refurbished campus-like brick buildings, Old Bust Head is part of a unique farm called ‘Vint Hill’ that for 50 years operated as a top secret military listening post. Familiar faces behind the bar share their love of craft in our 1950’s post & beam taproom while covered outdoor seating between our taproom and production area provides a welcoming environment for leashed dogs and all-weather access to a rotating variety of food trucks.

Tap at Sedona. Chocolate-caramel aroma. Taste is coffee, smoke, vanilla, chocolate, caramel... almost an alcoholic flavored-coffee-drink. Quite good, but I’m honestly not getting any chilis.

Super dark brown coloured body with a black glow and a very thin, single centimetre tall tan head that fades fast and turns oily. Aroma of super roasted malt, coffee, light vanilla, chocolate and tons of bittering, perhaps almost burnt malt. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich malt flavour with a huge deal of grain, bitter malt, chocolate, coffee and prunes - very nice throughout. Aftertaste is smooth, and despite a good deal of alcohol, shows very well with some vanilla, tobacco and grain all coming through. Overall, a rather nice Imperial Stout that I had in the midst of summer - but was very nice to try. I sampled this pint on draught at Zandra’s in Old Town Manassas, Virginia on 09-July-2016.
