Mad Fox Brewing Company launched in July 2010 with the opening of our European-style Gastro Brewpub in Falls Church, VA, which also houses our brewery.
In August 2015, the Mad Fox Taproom opened in the Glover Park neighborhood of Washington, DC. We're proud to provide a unique dining experience that pairs our handcrafted, award-winning beer with an appealing menu created in a scratch kitchen using locally-sourced and sustainable products whenever possible. All of our craft beers are brewed on-site using the finest ingredients sourced from across the country and internationally as well. Taste the difference with our appealing brewpub menu featuring hand-tossed artisan pizzas, creative burgers, signature frickles, weekly specials and more. Our 63-foot bar serves as the centerpiece of the brewpub where we showcase up to ten standard, house-brewed draught beers on tap as well as a rotating selection of seasonal brews in German, English, Belgian and American styles. Taste our cask conditioned proper Real Ales served through water-jacketed Angram beer engines which ensure that every pint is served at properly conditioned cellar temperatures.

From the ratings, it looks like they kept at least some of this beer around to age a touch more - which I’ll take. Deep dark brown body with a relatively faint light brown head that fades pretty fast. Aroma of figs, yeast, raisins, sour grapes, cherries and a bunch of caster sugar - this one is nice on the nose.Full-bodied; Strong roasted malt flavours with a defined yeast quality (I suppose that of Chimay), some vinous notes, a little oak and dry vanilla flavours and a touch of hay and light perfumey elements as well. Aftertaste is quite robust and very complex with the malt at first showing some musty and mushroomy/earthy qualities, along with a good fruity finish of apples/cherries/figs/prunes and all with the complex yeast finishes - nice. Overall, a surprisingly complex and well-rounded beer, that I can happily say is my first one from this brewery/brewpub, and despite the high price tag (this is Falls Church, I get that they can mark up the price to whatever they want, and people will pay), I’ll stop back for more fills of some of their other beers. I sampled this thirty-two ounce growler fill for US$13,99 filled earlier in the day and sampled roughly 10 hours later on 05-February-2016 from the brewpub in Falls Church, Virginia, sampled at home in Washington.

Very dark brown color. With light brown head. Tons of bourbon, truffles, port, chocolate, burnt raisins, much more like a black barleywine. Very smooth low medium carbonation. Alcohol well hidden so smooth and bourbon very well integrated. Slight warming finish. Very well integrated and rounded. Fantastic.
