(Bottle) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with black coffee, dark chocolate, black rye bread, orange peel, burnt sugar and a touch of tarry smoke. Malty, roasted taste with notes of dark chocolate, cacao, black rye bread, espresso, grapefruit, molasses, tar and a generous citric/coffee bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, with a certain sweetness. Really tasty and well made. Very nice.

Tap at the Iron Fist Barrio Logan venue. Pours very dark black with a dark tan head. Aroma of very dark malt, wood, brandy and chocolate. Very full in body. Flavor is extremely dark malt, though it is very smooth. The brandy is quite present, and the wood is clear. Chocolate not so much for me. But there. This is amazing stuff.

Tap at the Iron Fist Barrio Logan venue. Pours not quite transparent reddish/brown color with a near white head. Aroma of dark berry fruit. Some malt and wood. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor starts lightly oaky sour, and definitely has cassis. I vote for the red currants, but might be black. Not dry, but not sticky. Not really bitter. Quite flavorful. Very nice drink.

Pours clear brassy gold with a white head. Blood orange aroma. Med body for sure. Not trace of malt for me. Definite blood orange. There is some other fruit that’s likely tropical and it’s a bit peppery. Not malty. Hoppy and nicely bitter. Tasty. Not overdone on the BO. Try it.

Tap at the Iron Fist Barrio Logan taproom. Pours bright gold with a white head. Aroma is a bit grassy/lemon. Near med body. Flavor is lightly bready, grassy/lemon/spicy (tho not all that strong). It’s a fairly light and pleasing flavor.
