POured a black color with a tan head. Aroma is of sour cherries and some nice coffee aroma. Flkavor is of a lot of sour cherries, but with a weird acidic flavor which takes away from the nice stout roasted smoothness.

I love big, bold, dark and fruity beers and this one fits the bill. The cherry compliments the sour of the stout in a nice way. Adding complexity and a little surprise. The cherry thins out the texture just enough. I like the mild tartness along with the typical malty, chocolate, roasty notes of the stout. Dances on the tongue a bit. Very nice.

Bottle thanks to beerbill! Pours nearly completely black, with hints of brown and a thin brown head with a slight reddish hue. Nose is faint cherries and some other dark fruits, not much else. Flavour is bitter dark malts, with hints of sweet cherry juice. Carbonation is pretty low, it drinks almost more like juice than beer, but it is slightly syrupy and thick.

Very bad sour cherry taste that I can’t stand. Not paticularly drinkable or enjoyable. Drain pour.

Bottle. Dark black with red hues and a beige head. Aroma is tame, with a little sweet malt and fruitiness. Taste is of roasted malt with a tart sour cherry addition to it. Not the greatest, but not bad.

Taste: 8/8 Bottle(8219) Looks: Opaque black, handful of tan bubbles. Aroma: Cherry, roasted/toasted malt, mocha, wine sour. Taste: "Hi my names Cherry./You sure are." Very Cherry, tart, malt roast. Almost like burnt toast soaked in cherry juice. Not a fan. Excuse me why I go pour this out.

12oz bottle from Mr. Dunderbaks (Tampa, FL). Pours a dark brown-red to black with a tan head that diminishes quickly. Aroma is sweet malt, coffee, dark chocolate, dark, ripe fruit. Flavor is sweet and tangy with notes of sour fruit (cherry among them), dark chocolate, coffee, caramel. Medium to full body with a sweet and slightly bitter coffee finish. Interesting sweet stout.
