Appalachian Chocolate Cherry Stout

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.

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.
