On tap at Hops & Props BF. Poured a golden color with a smaller sized head. Citrus with tropical fruitiness and the alcohol hidden ... more of a NEIPA.

Iron Horse Gato Grande
This is quite a good beer. It pours a reddish amber brown with a small head. It kind of looks like a Modelo Negra with the same taste profile only a little more hoppy. A nice light dark lager that is tasty and smooth with almost the right balance of roasted malts and hops. Mahoney's Public House.

I've had this can for a while, BOD. 11/2/22. Pours a hazy golden color with a large creamy head (due to aging) and a fair amount of lacing. It has some creamy mouthfeel. The aroma is bread & grains and melon with slight tropical fruit. I think the aging has changed the hop taste as it is quite smooth & mellow.

Iron Horse Mexican Chocolate Death
12oz can, branded Mexican Cocoa Death. Dark brown pour with a light sandy head. Smells of roasted malt, a bit of chocolate and cinnamon. Sweet and lightly spicy; the chocolate and cinnamon are well balanced and work well with the base beer.

Iron Horse Chocolate Hazelnut Death
Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a large creamy tan head. Aroma starts with a lot of hazelnut followed by chocolate and then burnt malt. Med body at least. Flavor is a huge amount of hazelnut with some chocolate and supporting burnt malt. Not dry, but not sticky. Burnt malt bitter. Somebody must really like hazelnuts.

Iron Horse Chocolate Hazelnut Death
Can. Dark brown color with a thick tan head. Smells roasty and sweet, dark chocolate and a little of the hazelnut. Tastes a bit too sweet for my liking; there is a lot of chocolate sweetness and less roast, hazelnut.

Iron Horse / Whistle Punk Cold IPA
Can from Brewers Haven Mostly clear medium golden pour. Light soft malts and a mild somewhat grassy foral hop character. LIght and fresh and just enough hop flavor to carry it. Not bad

Iron Horse Chocolate Hazelnut Death
Sweet and rich. Hazelnut and chocolate flavor is very present but not way too intense. Of the flavored Irish Deaths, this is one of the better ones. Original Irish Death is still better though.

Iron Horse Aloha Death
Can from Brix Bottle Shop in Kalispell, MT. Pours a super dark brown color with a beige head and good retention. Scarce lacing. Coconut aroma dominates. Strong coconut flavor to match the nose, with a little chocolate in the finish. The coconut flavor is overpowering and cloying, but i don't think this beer would have ANY flavor without it. Medium-light body. Low carbonation and no bitterness. It's okay for a change, but I don't want more than one.

Iron Horse PB & Death
Can from Brix Bottle Shop in Kalispell, MT. Pours a very dark brown color with a thick beige head and very good retention. Fair lacing. Aroma of molasses and booze. Subtle molasses and caramel flavor with surprisingly little peanut butter flavor in the finish. Not getting any chocolate. The whole beer has very mild flavors overall. Medium body. Low carbonation. Low bitterness. Low flavor. At least the 6.5% ABV is well hidden. Not bad, but disappointing.

Iron Horse Cozy Sweater (2014-)
Can from Withey's Health Foods in Kalispell, MT. Pours a pitch black color with ruby highlights and a tight beige head with very good retention. Good lacing. Dark milk chocolate aroma. The taste follows the nose: Sweet (but not too sweet) dark chocolate and malt flavor dominates. The lactose and vanilla are very mild. Medium-heavy body and a semi-creamy mouthfeel. Low carbonation and almost no bitterness. Rich, yet repeatable. Very good.

Iron Horse Mexican Lager
16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Dark, clear brown , foamy receding head. Roasty, nutty aroma. Taste features roasty bitterness and minor sweetness. By taste alone, I would have classified this as a Schwarzbier, but since they are going for a Mexican vibe I used the same style as Negro Modelo.

12 oz from my neighbor. Aroma has notes of bread, citrus peel, cantaloupe--somewhat lackluster altogether. Pours hazy burnt orange-golden with a one+ finger cream-white head with excellent retention, leaving curtains of lace. Taste has a light pithy bitterness with citrusy hop flavors, finishing very dry. Perfect creamy mouthfeel. Good.

12oz can from Albertsons. Clear copper pour, small lasting off-white foamy head. Malty, caramel aroma with a light hoppy edge. Hops more prominent in the taste, sticky toffee malts underneath. Mildly dry at the finish.

Pours translucent mahogany with a thin parchment head. Aroma features caramel, toasty malt, sweetness. Flavor provides caramel, toasted malt and woody hops. Texture yields fair body & peppy fizz. Maybe not deadly, but satisfying.

Iron Horse Cram Boise
On tap at Homestead. Lightly hazy golden with a faint pink hue some berries in the aroma and a little bit in the flavors as well. Not really a Framboise Perhaps that is why it is spelled the way it is. Bland and disappointing.
