Ironworks Ex-Presso Stout
Black hue with a thin spotty light beige head. Creamy roasty black malt nose with a touch of creamy lactose and a dose of coffee. Lovely smooth black malt roastiness on the flavor with a lingering bit of creaminess, and a big coffee creamy undertone that lingers for quite a while. Smooth and sweet and Canfield roasty and chocolaty with a lingering coffee kiss.

Ironworks El Sancho - Fire Roasted Green Chili Beer
Brilliant clear golden with a thin spotty white cap. Nice calm nose that’s Germanic and pale but with a subtle green pepper whiff. Solid flavor that’s crisp and light with a bready Germanic pale bready haze with a light sweetness and a subtle chili undertone with no spiciness, just a cool eccentric and subtle flavor.

Ironworks Hilltopper’s Pride Kentucky Common
Deep clear nutty amber under a thin apottt off white head. Bready roasty malt aroma. Gentle yet toasty sweet malty flavor. A touch light but loaded with semisweet bread toast. It comes across almost like a bock but not as biscuity or dry.

Ironworks Green Mountain Pale Ale
Tap at brewpub. Good looking beer, goes downhill rapidly hazy amber with creamy head. Apparently no hops in this APA, just malt. Trying to find something of value here...nothing. hockey on the TV is a plus, but doesn’t make the beer better, just distracts from how awful it is....

Ironworks Hop Killah IPA
Draft at brewpub. Medium amber with minimal head. No aroma, none, whatsoever. Lightly hopped, watery sweet malts. Hops linger. Flavor, not do much.s somebody must have killed the hops, because they’re nowhere to be seen.

Ironworks Golden Crisp IPA
The definition of faulty beer. Milky pour, diacetyl-dominant flavor of butter and sweat with notes of autolyzed yeast (peanuts, mud) and green apple (acetaldehyde). Sweet and worty and gritty and acidic. Hilariously bad beer in an equally depressing setting.
