12oz. Bottle: Aroma of funk, acetic acid, tartness, and a hint of roasted malts. Poured very dark brown/black in color with a large, tan head that lasted throughout. Opaque. Very sparkling. Good lacing. Flavor is light to medium sour. Tastes of tart fruit, funk, light roasted malts, and a very slight hint of cherry. Medium body. Tingly, then dry texture. Lively carbonation. Tart, funk finish. More of a sour than a fruit beer or a stout.

Could be better. Some cherry and malt flavor. It gushed from the bottled infected. This wasn’t an old beer, so I have to blame the brewery for that.

Served from a 12 oz bottle picked up an our trip through M!ch!g@n. Pours a red toned brown with a thin brown head. Nose is faint cherry concentrate and faint roasted malt. Flavors are fake cherry concentrate with no sweetness. Sorry but not a good beer.

Has a slight cabernet aroma as well as cherries(obviously). Slight chocolate and coffe flavor. Mediocraty

bottle: pours dark mahogany with huge beige head. Arouma is musty, fruity and sweet. Taste is sweet and sour, fruity and hint of chocolate. Too much carbonation and not very well balanced. Not a big fan of this one.

This was just awful. The cherries were very artificial and overly sweet. Little other flavor was present. Blah.

Chocolate aroma with hint of cherry. Slightly metallic in taste but definite roasted malts and cherry in aftertaste. Interesting flavor but good.

12oz bottle. Dark brown with a tinge of red hue. Smells of chocolate malt and cherry syrup. Off flavor. Roasted malts and tart cherries. Light medium bodied. Finished clean.

Pours a deep brown color with a light brown head. Aroma is roast, cherry, and chocolate. Flavor is caramel, roast, cherry, chocolate, and tart finish.
