Description
Set in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of Central Virginia, Blue Mountain opened in 2007 as the region’s first rural brewery. Founders Taylor and Mandi Smack and Matt Nucci had a vision to bring the brewery experience out of the normal hustle and bustle of an urban environment. Today, we’re still focused on making an inspired range of the highest-quality beers that can be enjoyed at our two locations in beautiful Nelson County, or in bottles and cans throughout Virginia and beyond.

Bottle: Hazy, orange-gold with a small, off-white head. Orange-peel, grain, grapefruit scent. Taste is slightly overripe orange and orange-peel. Slightly bready....really dry. Not nearly as sweet as I expected. Ok, but I really was prepared for a more juicy orange flavour. More IPA than fruit beer.

Nice fresh roasted beginning. Intense dark chocolate, sessionable with a great woody (bourbon) sub-tone. The coffee is there, very dry, the chocolate harmonises great, very round and fresh, bitter in the aftertaste with woody bourbon and coffee there. Nice.

Bottle shared with pilsnertest. Pours black with a small off-white head. Aroma is pretty bourbon forward with earthy wood, molasses, chocolate and a light roast. Taste is similar with bourbon, oak, vanilla and chocolate. A weak hint of stale cardboard, I might have been holding on to this one just a bit too long. Still highly enjoyable though.
