Oct 2, 2009 Pours a deep opaque sable with a fairly thick tan head. Aroma is rich and smoky with undertones of coffee, cherries and unsweetened chocolate. Smoky, slightly sweet flavor has a firm and slightly sour cherry tone as well as hints of coffee and chocolate. Silky smooth texture is just a little tingly.

Sep 28, 2009 Very excited to finally try this brew. Very dark pour with a tan head. Aroma of tart cherries, chocolate, coffee. Flavor is very tart of cherries, but not too tart. This is a tremendous beer.

Sep 28, 2009 12 oz. bottle from The Party Source. Pours almost black with a small tan head. Aroma of chocolate, cherries, coffee, roasted malts. Flavor is tart cherries, roasted malts, chocolate, a little coffee. Let this one warm for better balance. I like tart cherries and was not put off by the tartness of this; others I tried it with were more surprised by the flavor and expected a milder cherry taste. Medium-full bodied, sweet, and roasty. Bells does an excellent job with stouts and this is no exception.

Sep 26, 2009 I tell you what: if you like tart cherries (think door county cherries) and you like stouts, you will like this. Serve it a hair warmer than you might usually. Flavor is the typical stout characteristics with a bit of tartness at the end. Serve too cold and the flavors clash, however. Personally, this is one I look forward to.

Sep 18, 2009 Very blacj with a small head. This is a full-bodied stout with chocolate, cocoa, and cherries. Not the smoothest stout, but pretty good.

Sep 17, 2009 Pours dark, looking black in the glass, with a thin tan head. The aroma is a combination of cherry and chocolate. Tastes just like cherry pie. A bit of sweet tang and roast but not enough roasty flavors to offset the cherry tang which is a bit unbearable. Not an easy one to drink. Cherries and Sweet Stout sounds like it would be an interesting mix but it didn’t at all do it for me.

Sep 17, 2009 Rated this when I drank it, but the rating disappeared so I don’t have tasting details. It was really interesting, kind of like a chocolate cherry pie, a mix of chocolate and roast with bitter cherry. Enjoyable, but only in small quantities.
