Beginning October 1st, Iron Horse brewery will be offering Mocha Death. For this seasonal offering, we started with Irish Death. Irish Death is our dark smooth ale that presents a full malt flavor laced with caramel, chocolate, dark fruit, and a touch of sweetness. To this heavenly ale, we added fresh, locally roasted espresso beans and pure cocoa. the result is a bit of confusion. "Should this go in my coffee mug, or my pint glass?" Answer: both. This beer is up front with enormous coffee aroma, with the cocoa playing the sideline. Until the taste. Lacking bitterness, the flavor comes forward with a rounded balance of coffee blending gracefully with the creamy malt body and soft cocoa flavors. Dark beer, chocolate, and coffee. You're welcome.

    A porter looking and feeling brew rather than a stout, though the description of the base "malt flavor laced with caramel, chocolate, dark fruit, and a touch of sweetness" is spot on. I liked the coffee and cocoa additions as well, but it just iddn't come together well enough to be elite.

    Wasn't crazy about it. Bottle dated October 2010. Poured well from a color standpoint but seem a little thin in the pour for a sweet stout (no viscosity whatsoever. Dark brown in colour, medium brown cap. Very sweet aroma. There was also roasted malt and vanilla, but sweet chocolate was a bit much. The flavor was more chocolatey that stout....in some respects it was more of a watered down alcoholic chocolate milk than other sweet stouts I've tried. More body and more coffee would have made for a better beer.

    Amazing brew!!! Pours a rich brown with a creamy, tan head. It is almost like this came from draught than from a bottle. Aroma is chocolate espresso bean. Not as dark as a stout should be, more porter in appearance. Dark amber in body, really. First sip is strong coffee and chocolate. Delecious, rich, espresso and chocoalte. Mocha indeed!!! Excellent breakfast brew. Not heavy at all. Easy drinker, season or not, 0'beer 30, or not. This is now in my top 20 favorites overall. One that I will use to introduce others into the style definately. Slainte!!!
