Bells Cherry Stout

Strange aroma I can’t quite place, but I don’t like it. Flavor definately of sour cherries with a roasted malt finish. Thin mouth feel for a stout. Not bad, but not something I would pick again.

12 oz bottle. Pours like 3-year old used motor oil with a small reddish brown head. Lacing disappears quickly. Smells of roasted coffee, slight cherries. Tastes of chocolate, coffee and a nice cherry aftertaste. Great stout aftertaste and some dryness from the fruit. Recommended as a snack, not necessarily for session work. Very nice.

Thanks to gregis for getting me this from my want list
Pour is black with small tan head. Smell is soy sauce and tart unsweetened cherry juice. I was making chinese food for dinner so I brought out the Kikkoman to do a side by side smelling, and it was verified. Taste is unsweetened sour cherry mostly. Not getting a lot of roastiness, except for in a slight soy sauce way. Not pleasant, and I really wanted to like this as it was one of the first beers I put on my want list after joining the site. Absolutely could not finish it.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown almost black color with a medium sized tan head. Aroma of coffee, light cherries and hops.Taste is a little tart/sour from the cherries and hoppy. Has a bit of a roasted malt and coffee finish.

Delicious strong aroma of roasted barley, bordering on beef. Opaque black pour with a medium brown head, good lacing. The taste is complex and incredibly well balanced with a tastefully viscous mouthfeel. Coffee and cherry layers rest on a bed of charred lamb. It finishes rapidly into a whisper of smoke. Superb!

bottle. pours black, with a thin red head. aroma of cherry, oats, and light alcohol - the combination gives it a slightly medicinal quality. flavor is tart cherries and caramel. mild carbonation. the combination of tart dark fruit, thick body and warming alcohol don’t do it for me - felt like i was drinking a refined dimetap. if you like fruit stouts, you may give it a go, but its not my bag.

12 oz bottle. Pretty much a big let down. Poured a flat looking deep dark bown with virtually no head. Good aroma of chocolate with some sour dark fruit, oak and a little bit of funkiness. Very sweet flavor of artificial cherry juice and chocolate blended with a beer. Thin falt body that reminds me of cherry juice. Not Bells best beer.

pint. pours much blacker and thicker than expected, mild dark caramel head. sweet mocha cherry aroma. Dry dark malt with mild hidden cherries behind it with a great subtlety adding into the complexity. dry finish and short. cherries are hidden, good sessionable quality.
