Bottle from app vintner - pours dark brown with dark chocolate head. Aroma is chocolate, malt, and tart cherries. Taste is sweet with a kiss of tart. Palate is a bit syrupy, but finishes on the dry side. I like the balance of the sweet stout with the tart cherries.

This took awhile to grow on me, but once it did, wow. There’s a definite sweetness here, but not an over-the-top trendy alcohol bomb type of stout. Lots of chocolate and coffee, with a subtle but noticeable cherry flavor and tang. Creamy mouthfeel, just a very delicious and interesting beer.

On tap at Maduro in Madison, WI as part of a Great Taste pre-party. Smelled strongly of chocolate with a slight hint of cherry. Cherry was ever-so-slightly present in the taste as well, but certainly not overwhelming. Sweet but not too sweet.

from iphone beerlicious app: Black with minimal brown head. Light sweetness; short duration; slick and creamy. too much cherry. Long finish
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Dark with light foam on rim. Thick and oily. Roasted malts and cherry on the nose. Flavor is mostly soy sauce with some earthy rusticness from the cherries but not fruitiness. Not sure how fresh this was, so maybe the fruit has faded? Feel like it would be better with more cherries, but they say it is better with cellaring, so who knows?

On Tap at Bells. Pours a deep black with light chocolate head. Aroma is dark roast and very slight cherry. Taste is very much the same, with a light cherry sour finish. This is a very enjoyable stout with a unique, slightly complex character/finish.

Pours black. Lots of cherry and chocolate. Sweet. Almost like syrup. If I was blindfolded, I’d think this was cherry coke with something added. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Upon pouring, the aroma of chocolate and cherry both are apparent. You pick up the roasted malts as well. The appearance is a pour with little to no head, jet black with a small red hue at the top. I love the taste. It’s a perfect mixture of tart and bitter. Will drink over and over!

A black beer with hardly any head at all. The aroma is cocoa and cherry, the flavor is tart cherry with bittersweet cocoa. Good body, but a little disappointing.
