Apr 8, 2009 Updated: Jul 14, 2009Year old bottle. Nice and tart. Very sour cherry dominant. A bit odd for me. Some coffee and chocolate makes up the base that is taken over by sourness. Sour stouts are not for me.

Apr 3, 2009 2008 Bottle - Thanks BrewCzar! - Pours almost black with a quickly dissipating tan head...aroma is fairly faint cherry with the typical stout coffee, dark malt and cocoa...flavour is far more bold than expected, tart ass cherries dominate the front, giving way to coffee and burnt sugar...that was an interesting one....not sure how it’s a sweet stout...

Mar 29, 2009 Pours to a low-foam head, very murky. The aroma is surprisingly weak, maybe a slight hint of anise notable.
Strong citrus/cherry flavor that was strikingly strong given the faint aroma. Taste is acrid for a moment, then finished like a chocolate-covered cherry. I didn’t expect o like this one as much as I did.

Mar 29, 2009 Can definitely taste the cherries. Not my favorite from bells. maybe i’m just not a tart stout kind of guy,.

Mar 28, 2009 Terrible, for a Bell’s. Sour cherry doesn’t work at all. Like bad cough syrup poured into an average stout. Will have to try the bourbon barrel aged cherry stout from Bell’s to see how different it might be.

Mar 28, 2009 I was disappointed with this beer. I love Stouts (they are my favorite). I also love Bells (to an extent) but this beer was a miss for me. I see a lot of people giving this a good rating and I don’t get it. Bell’s Expedition Stout was amazing and so was the Kalamazoo Stout but this was a miss for me. The aroma was borderline formaldehyde. Was a bad example from Bells.

Mar 25, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a dark brown, with little to no head. Aroma is cherry, coffee and a hint of some other sweets. Tastes malty and chocolate, only a hint of the cherry flavor that i was expecting to be a little more potent. Very good beer indeed. ($3.49) Batch: 8870.

Mar 24, 2009 12oz bottle. Pours a darkish brown with red highlights. Sizable brown head. Nose is some tart cherry, sweet malts and caramel. Taste is malty sweet up front with a touch of roast finishes with a big blast of slightly sour cherry. Very good. Despite the 7% this is dangerously sessionable. Very nice
