Common descriptors are
In 1952, a Ringling Brother’s and Barnum and Bailey circus train derailed outside Evington, Va. Thirty-five gorillas escaped the wreckage and ran loose for three decades climbing on houses, peeking in windows, and harassing family pets. Every attempt to recapture and detain a single escapee failed and only one photograph was ever successfully developed. Eventually vanishing into the woods of central Virginia and into urban legend, these unlikely neighbors are the source for the Gorilla Train Coffee Stout. Brewed with locally roasted coffee, this malt-forward ale bears strong roasted malt flavors and hints of dark chocolate and might just have you doing some monkeying around on your own.
