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.

Sep 11, 2009 Chocolate and subtle coffee flavors quickly give way to a sweet and sour cherry tang that tickles the lips and tounge. The sweetness may be slightly too much for my liking. The body is silky smooth with pleasant alcohol notes throughout.

Sep 2, 2009 33 cl bottle, Fargo, ND, USA via Kalamazoo.Ink black colour with a very slight reddish tint. Foam dissapates and rings the glass. Roasted malt mingled with sour cherry aroma. Sour first sip, overpowers the malt. then mellows. Aftertaste of braised cherries, sweet and long with a lingering sourness.
