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 from Market Street Wine drunk at the Christmas Tasting. Dark brown, almost no head. Nose is bourbon and a bit of roasted malt. Flavor is very full, a bit of soy and saltiness but not too much. Pretty smooth for a bourbon aged one, decent bitterness to back up the sugars, I like it but not as complex as some other bourbon aged stouts.

Bottle, huge thanks one51. Murky dark brown body, off-white head. Soft oaky aroma, definitely the bourbon leaving a trace, coconut. Lean, dry taste, light bourbon, char, caramel, indeed, some light vanilla, vague chocolate, ending bitterish. Good profile, ending bitter, lightly astringent.

12 oz. bottle, thanks to Tim! Pours a clear, straw color, with a small, white head. The aroma is lime zest, light nectarine, water crackers, and hay. Sweet and sugary, with a light tartness. Light, crisp, and effervescent. Bright and refreshing.
