wingman333 (233), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Feb 2, 2008 Dark, dark color, and slight odor and taste of cherry, very bitter and oily. Not a fan of this one. falkirk005 (27), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA Jan 30, 2008 Updated: Sep 8, 2008Nice aroma and appears richly dark in the glass. Fairly thick feel going down with a hint of cherry flavor that is not overwhelming. As others have said, there’s a definite tart to this beer and not as malty sweet as I had expected. This one really grew on me over time and I’m looking forward to winter when the Cherry stout will again be available. RichJ7 (1175), Cullman, Alabama, USA Jan 29, 2008 Black pour with a thin tan head. Fruity aroma and a flavor of sour cherries and roasted malt. Definitely tart. I would’ve expected a tad more sweetness from a sweet stout with fruit infused, but oh well. Definitely meh. CP (124), USA Jan 28, 2008 Eh, I was expecting a more cherry flavor, but it really isn’t apparent at all. Basically just a regular stout with a faint faint cherry taste. Hardly worth being called a "cherry" stout as a branding. Guinness4Duff (507), Tallahassee (and Poconos, PA), Florida, USA Jan 25, 2008 Pours a thick black with a very dark but small head. There is a prominent cherry aroma that eminates from the bottle. The taste is a rather tart cherry flavor followed with a bitter roasted finish. The first fruit flavored stout that that ive tried, not bad. dchmela (1410), Orlando, Florida, USA Jan 25, 2008 Pours black with a thin off white head. Aroma of roasted malt and tart cherry, but very subtle. Taste is nice, a little thick, creamy stout with a hint of tart cherries. For some reason I thought this would be a lot sweeter cherry and was pleasantly surprised at how the cherry does not overtake the chocolate and roasted malts. Finishes a little dry with a hint of cherry. Very easy drinking stout, but deceptivley strong. topherh (889), Kearney, Missouri, USA Jan 23, 2008 Batch #8144 12 oz bottle pours black with a reddish tinged brown head that quickly disapates. Aroma of cherries and roasted malts. Flavor is of bitter roasted and chocolate malt and a slight hint of cherries. mixinnixon2000 (227), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jan 22, 2008 Another one not available in Illinois. Great tartness, but not too much. nice finish. easily a drink all night beer.
