Commercial Description:
A two time medalist, this opaque black stout is boldly aggressive with a roasted flavor stemming from rich UK malt. Iron Horse Stout was awarded the top medal in the 1998 World Beer Cup Competition in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, and the bronze medal in the 2000 Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado.

On tap at the Stogie and Stout event, 2008 edition. Pours pretty darn dark with nice half inch to three quarter inch firm mocha head and spotty lacing. Looks like a nice beer. The aroma is fairly strong with roasty malts mixed with toffee followed by burnt malts. Very pleasing combination. The taste is bold like the aroma with roasty malts and toffee followed by burnt malts to midway. The beer sort of trails off and becomes a bit thin as the finish approaches. In the after taste a nice roasty and toffee maltiness lingers.

On tap at the Disney Boardwalk location. Pours a deep brown with a medium creamy light tan head. Aroma of nice coffee, chocolate and roasted malt. Flavor of roasted malt, caramel, chocolate and some coffee.

Draught at Rock Bottom - Atlanta. Aroma is intensely roasted malt and some coffee but a nice background of herbal hops. Pours a deep opaque blackish-mahogany with 1-2 fingers worth of thick creamy crown, good retention and fingery lacing. Flavour is full of roasted and cholocate tones, slight coffee, and a nice prominent hop bitterness. Finish is extremely smooth leaving a great roasty aftertaste. Mouthfeel is creamy with the perfect amount of moderate carbonation. Overall a wonderful stout, although nothing too characteristic - too bad this is only at the restaurant.

A great stout - jumps out at you with more hops than many stouts and a terrific flavor. Great roasted malt and well balanced. I’ve had a few dozen of these at the source in Chattanooga which is a very cool brewery. I would love to see this bottled!

Draft. Black color with a thick tan head. Coffee, burnt peanuts and maybe a hint of chocolate aroma. flavor much like the aroma. Slightly bitter burnt coffee like aftertaste. Not overwhelming or offensive. B

Update 10/2008. Had again and seemed really creamy compared to before. More mocha also. Almost more like a sweet stout. Poured black. Pretty thin brown head. Roasty aroma, not real powerful. Inoffensive going down, mostly coffee and licorice. Not bad for a place trying to be fairly main stream. Had this at the Rock Bottom Brewery in Charlotte NC.
