(Draught) Pours an opaque black body with a medium brown body. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt, licorice, and mustiness. Flavor of chocolate, roasted malt, lactose, cherry, vanilla, and sassafras.

From tap. Pours dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is chocolate and dark roasted malty. Mild vanilla and dark roasted. Bitter and dark roasted malty. Lingering dark chocolate. Smooth.

Pours deep brown with minimal brown head. Aroma is of cocoa and a mild coffee roast. The cherries only really come in for the flavor were they contribute a nice sweet-tart sort of thing on the sides/front of the palate. Complex flavor, medium bodied, limited carbonation. This is one of the best-executed /most original ABC beers I’ve head.

Sampled at the Camp Springs brewpub. The name says it all. Chocolate, cherries and cheer. Definitely unique, so recommended.

I thought this was excellent. It did not over power with either cherry or chocolate. It has a nice tight range which allowed for a very balanced not overpowering flavored stout.

to me this tasted like drinking a liquid chocolate covered cherry. At first you could taste the dark chocolate and then followed by a strong cherry taste. I hate cherries so i didn’t really appreciate that part. For someone that like chocolate covered cherries this beer would be a real treat.

UPDATED: JUN 16, 2004 This brew is based on the ABC Susquehanna Stout, and created especially for the annual Chocolatefest in Hershey. Terrific roasted coacoa and mild cherry aroma. The initial sip is strong with cherry, but not overtly so, on the swallow a fine roasted flavor coats the back of the mouth. The aftertaste is quite pleasant, making this a rather drinkable stout.
