stevoj	3.3 Rusty Truck Cherry Chocoholic Baltic Porter Crowler fill from 64oz. Dark brown pour with a fizzy beige head. Aroma is chocolate, hint of cherry flavoring. Cherry flavoring becomes more dominant in the taste, lighter chocolaty notes. Sweet, slick, almost oily feel. Any of the base porter is lost with adjunct flavorings. Still drinkable, though, smooth, full. Thursday, October 6, 2022
