Growler from the brewery, shared at the 9th Richmond Gathering. Pours a slightly hazy bronze color with a medium head. Big malty toffee aroma with loads of resiny and citrus hops. Some earthy and herbal notes as well. Very bitter taste. Fruity with peach, apple, apricot, citrus and pineapple. Good toffee malt backbone balances very well. Lingering hop bitterness. Full bodied.

Draft: Woody caramel and dandelion bouquet. Clear orange pour, medium yellow head and excellent lacing. Thin-medium body tasting of generic creamy bitterness. Woody finish. Nice beer and an IPA more of the English variety than American.

Clear copper color, foaming head. Light perfume nose, a touch spicy. Clean balanced flavor profile, with sweet bready malts, light bitterness that balances, minimal hop flavors. Reminds alot of Yuengling, only a little better!

On nitro tap at Capital Ale House - Midlothian for the Blue Mountain Beer Dinner on 03/12/2009. Very dark black body with a large creamy light brown head. Huge chocolate aroma with a bit of cherry and faint bourbon with hints of vanilla. Sweet bourbon flavor changes into cocoa with hints of coffee before sliding into cherries. Medium full body, probably full body if not on a nitro tap, with moderately low carbonation.
