| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 21, 2009 Aroma of bark, mocha with a smokey character as well. Light creamy head, opaque appearance. Flavor had mostly mocha but the cherry presence was well done I thought, not overwhelming. Some light vinegar and apple as well. Creamy palate. Good, but not outstanding. foundmd (163), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours opaque brown/black with a medium tan head. Immediate aroma of cherries with some chocolate malts. Flavor is very tart with some sourness. Not very sweet at all. The cherries compliment the roasted chocolate malt flavors and alcohol warmth nicely. Not my favorite style, but much better than I expected. dwaggs2 (534), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Feb 12, 2009 Not a big fan of the style, but this one was decent to drink. Taste is very tart. Good combination of flavors. PilsnerPeter (2612), Flushing, New York, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 12, 2009 Bottle: Pours opaque with a dense brown head. Nice aroma with rich chocolate malt presence, roast, a soft sweetness and a touch of tart cherry. Fluffy and smooth on the palate. Lightly tart upfront (cherry) with an almond like rounded sweetness and some roasted marshmallow suggestions. The middle gives off great dark malt character- soft charred black malt and smooth roast. The flavors are perfectly integrated to make this unique Stout. Nice. Iceman82 (26), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 8, 2009 Tried ot by the bottle and received it from by Beer Director. Pours black with a dark tan head. Aroma is coffee, espresso, chocolate-covered cherries. Unfortunately, I found the taste just to sour and overpowering. The cherry hits so hard in the beginning that it kills the stout flavor. It’s interesting, just not for me. Maddog (234), Kettering, Ohio, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Wow, I’ve seen this beer for years, but never tried it until tonight. An amazingly unique combination of tart cherries and a rather big, roasty stout. As different as a beer that you will find, it isn’t common these days to drink a beer so original. The aroma is sour cherry and the body is opaque. A tasty after dinner beer. durhambeer (1200), Durham, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 7, 2009 Black pour, thin off white head. Chocolate and cherry nose, nice tart taste. Quite good when the mood strikes... Which is admittedly not too often.
