Bottle from Albertsons. Dark brown , small silky beige head. Light roasty aroma, mildly sweet. Taste brings some chocolate, more sweetness, light coffee bitterness. Not as much coffee as i was expecting.

Draught at the brewery; 7% ABV
Beautiful dark mahogany color with small creamy head. Nice espresso aroma. The flavor has some chocolate, roasted malt and coffee, well balanced, with the moderate sweetness; relatively low bitterness.
Very good.

Draft at GABBF: Poured a black color with brown head. Aroma and taste was super chocolatey and nice bitter coffee to break up the sweetness. Finished dry.

I see it says \"stout\" on here. My bad, I thought it was a double stout and poured it into a snifter.
Here’s the rest.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown color ranging close to black. A slim finger’s worth of tan milky head formed and dissipated within about thirty seconds. Stringy lacing glosses along the sides of the glass.
The smell was a sticky sweet to light roasty espresso and a light cocoa.
The taste copied the smell to keep sweet and roasty smooth leading to a decent sweet dry espresso aftertaste. There’s a semi - dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation came across pretty smooth and practically barely there.
Overall, actually there’s nothing wrong with this beer. Iron Horse hits everything well. Next time I hope to have in a pint glass for proper glassware. I have to admit there’s a number on the side that says 101414, is that the bottling date? I don’t know.

Draft pour at Frankies pizza. Pours a dark reddish brown with a thin cola head. Strong coffee beans aroma. Mostly coffee bean flavor, unbalanced, with just a little bit of chocolate. Finishes pure espresso. Interesting beer. Not quite what I expected. A little more balanced would be nice, but good flavor overall. Not bad.
