Description
Hardywood officially began its mission to brew with purpose in late 2011 as one of only two craft breweries in the city of Richmond. Our original brewhouse and taproom was a vacant warehouse discovered in a long-forgotten neighborhood known nearly a century prior as Richmond’s German Brewing District. Hardywood has been drawing new life to this forgotten area one draft pour at a time. We now operate a 20-barrel brewhouse and taproom in the original location, as well as a 60-barrel brewhouse and destination brewery in the West Creek area of Richmond, right on the border of Goochland County.
Today, Hardywood continues to develop and deliver on its mission with a sharp focus on brewing quality, sourcing local, environmental stewardship, community engagement, and giving back.

750 mL bottle from the brewery. I wasn’t a huge fan of the base beer so hopefully this one will be mellowed out by the bourbon and a little age. Pours a dark brown color with a thin frothy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts, mild whiskey and cherries. Slight ashen note. Medium bodied, slight lingering bitterness. A little disjointed and disappointing.

C&C 750 mL bottle from the brewery. Pours a hazy amber color with a medium sized frothy white head. Good head retention. Aroma of floral, herbal hops, spice, pale malts and a faint bit of honey. The taste is earth, anise, herbal notes, mild tropical notes, pale malts and some pepper builds at the very end. Medium bodied, lingering spice, low carbonation, fairly delicate.

Location: 750 ml bottle from Pinsky, 10/6/13
Aroma: It has a nice pine/wood aroma, almost sprucy, some earth, and a little spice
Appearance: Pours a caramel-orange color with a thick, frothy beige head and plus lace
Flavor: The taste is plenty hoppy, nice pine/spruce-like flavor, good bitterness to it
Palate: The body is medium-plus, it has a creamy feel, average carbonation, and a dry finish
Overall Impression: I really liked this one a lot. Great hop flavor from the poplar. I really liked the way this worked. Excellent stuff. Makes me want to lick a tree.

Bottle at Brewdown. Pours reddish amber with white head. Nose and taste of bourbon, caramel malt, sticky sweetness and toffee. Medium body. This was my last beer of the night. If you look at my actual tasting notes, they read "red dish w mtt h_d cand mnts tow mish By." Somehow I was able to decipher that.
