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.

75cl bottle @ Delirium Hoppy Loft, cheers Neil for cracking this one. Couleur noire foncée, col café au lait laissant un léger doré au verre. Arôme est malté avec un bouquet café renforcé qui se retrouve en avant. Le tout est accompagné de qcq effluves boisées et bourbon qui manque juste un peu de briller. Palais est profond et complexe, malté chocolaté, caramel, pointe de café rappelant le café refroidi qui se note surtout en fin de bouche. Le bourbon reste discret et retrait par rapport au profil très malté de cette bière. Amertume légère en fin de bouche sans vraiment un apport spécial des houblons. Se termine sur une note épicée-boisée de chêne.

Bottle. Pours hazy rich amber with a small creamy beige head that lasts forever and laces well. Aroma is light with notes of caramel, bourbon, yeast, pepper. grass. Flavor is light sweet, yeast, pepper, grass, bourbon, light bitterness coming through, lingering and strengthening on the finish. Medium body, prickly carbonation, a bit hot feeling, strangely. Pretty drinkable and definitely a bit out of the mainstream.

Sampled from a 750 ml corked brown bottle this beer poured a murky orange-brown color with a huge very creamy orange-cream head that lingered forever and left great lacing. The aroma was faint with sweet orange . The flavor was sweet and malty with moderate ripe fruits, chocolate and bourbon. Long finish of creamy chocolate and bourbon. Moderately full bodied and smooth. Alcohol well hidden. Very nice.
