This would be a great session beer! scooterling (21), S. San Francisco, California, USA

Not too hoppy which is strange for a West Coast beer. Nice malty goodness. Beautiful color. Velveety mouth feel. Tied House simply has the best beer prices for a brew pub in the Bay Area. $6 growlers! kp (8498), Woodstock, Georgia, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 24, 2007 (Sampler at the San Jose location) Ironwood Dark is a mohaghany ale with a small, creamy white head. The aroma is mellow and piney. The palate is pretty smooth and medium light; perhaps a bit chalky. The flavor is fresh and crisp... perhaps a bit disjointed? rmussman (905), California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 5, 2007 A decent brown ale. Aroma is sweet and apperanace is brown with a thin lacey head. Mouthfeel is a little sharp. Flavor is kind of weak and doesnt have a long lasting hoppy flavor like most. Beer2000 (1825), Kristiansand, Norway
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 19, 2006 On tap. Dark brown body with decent off-white head. Nice, mild brown ale with a light roasted taste. The best so far from Tied House brewpub. after4ever (2776), Brier, Washington, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 9, 2006 Draft at the San Jose brewery. This one had a little bit more chutzpah than 6 of the 8 wallflowers that came out with it in the sampler rack. Some body, a little carb, and a whiff of aroma on the nose. Grass would be that whiff. Grass and hay step up in the mid-palate, with that fresh-cut summer lawn for a finish. Not my favorite brown, but showing some identity here at the Tied House. brianprentiss (475), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 5/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/20 | Jul 7, 2006 Very MEDIOCRE beer. It sounds so much better on the menu than it actually tastes. Has some very strange tastes and the malts are just blah.
