Description
We are a brewery, taproom, and beer garden in the Scott's Addition neighborhood of Richmond, Virginia.

Ardent Craft Ales began as a co-op in a Richmond garage, a space where we sought to create innovative beers and introduce others to historic brewing methods and beer styles. As a production brewery, our mission remains the same: to produce and celebrate exceptional and ambitious beers with the ever-growing craft beer community.

Cask at GBBF '19, day four, 09/08/19. Black with a tan cap that clears to a swirl. Nose is chocolate, spice, roast malts, toffee fudge. Taste comprises dark malts, chocolate, charr, dried fruits, dates, tangy fruit rinds, light chilli bite. Medium bodied with bite, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of booze. Ok stuff if lacking some depth for the high boost ... quite spicy.
