Bristol, as far as I know, was a stand-alone brewery. Black Fox piggy-backed as a brewed-on-site entity from a former/current employee/brewer. I dragged Holly along on a beautiful Monday after New Years Day. Suffice it to say, I still had alcohol coursing through the body a day after NYE. I've learned that samplers are the way to go, although I still haven't done one through my first 3/4 brewery visits. 3-4 pints at every stop makes a fat man drunk. Here are the notes:
Beehive Honey Wheat - light! Wheaty and smooth, kinda looking for more honey. Smells honey-heavy; Holly says tastes plain...flat in favor.
Black Fox Diablo - black cherry and NM red chili; lil chocolate feel; like a sweet and spicy stout, almost numbs the tongue; great complex nose; 6.9abv.
Laughing Lab Scottish Ale - good; although not a Scottish Ale lover, this beer is sessionable, has great color and taste, and well-rounded; I understand the medals, but look for more hops (only 19 ibus) in my beer.
Winter Warlock Stout - tasty oatmeal goodness; sweet nose, great dark stout flavor; another well balanced beer; great for winter; will buy again in bottle.
Theres a shuffleboard table in here! Industrial vibe. Lil rugged. Mini pretzels in a dog bowl!
