3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
My bottle had a little age to it i’m guessing Nose is Dark cherry and chocolate, Pour is dark black with minimal head..Taste is complex with the tart cherry really coming out, with some chocolate and a little roasty flavor...Palate is tart cherry. I wish i could have had more of this stuff. It was a nicely done stout

Had to try it to hear what the hype was but not too impressed with it. Tartness of cherrys is good but gets to be alittle too much after acouple beers.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Poured into a snifter.
3.0 A: Black color. Just a touch of light brown head that fell quickly and left nothing behind.
4.0 S: Nose is quite pleasant. Soft, but stout roastiness. Super creamy coffee as if there was lactose in here. Tart cherry integrates extremely well and holds a good balance with the base. Decent amount of caramel as well.
4.0 T: The taste is pretty much exactly like the nose. Soft, but powerful roast. Coffee with creme. Caramel galore. Tart cherry in perfect balance.
3.5 M: Light medium to medium body. Carbonation is light, but adequate. This would be several fold better if this were thicker and creamier. As it is, it isn’t bad. Super smooth.
4.0 D: This accomplishes what I imagine the goal was in creating this brew. Solid taste, solid overall. Cherries are well incorportated.

Meh. Not sure. Dark black pour, sweet and fruity smell and taste. The cherry is almost overpowering. Probably wouldnt get this again but glad I tried it (menu sold it well)
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Not one of my favorites. Maybe, it needs to age for awhile. Had a few swigs and poured the rest down the drain. Could not detect a lot of aroma. Taste was a tart, thin stout. Just not my thing, but others may really like it. Should have grabbed another Hopslam in place of this one.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours nearly black with basically no head. Roasted malt and cherry aroma leans a bit more toward "burnt cherry pie" than it should. The sour cherry flavor seems to fight the sweeter stout rather than blending together. Maybe that’s where more aging would help...
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Dark pour. No head to speak of. Sweet, almost fruity aroma. Not as thick as it looks, making it easy to drink. Sweet flavor with some cherry notes, but nothing overpowering which is great. Having only ever had one other cherry stout (Stone’s Cherry Chocolate Collab) I enjoyed this beer, but I don’t have a huge sample size to draw from.
1.4 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 10/20
I guess I am not a fan of cherry stout. I couldn’t take more than one swig of this before I had to sin and throw it out.
