2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Säuerlich würziger Antrunk. Die Malzigkeit ist zwar das wichtigste Aroma, kommt aber kaum über den Hintergrundstatus hinweg. Säuerlich bleibend, von den Kirschen bzw. dem Kirschsaft ist nichts zu erkennen. Im Abgang etwas würziger, die Säuerlichkeit nimmt leicht zu. Wenig harmonisch, die Säuerlichkeit passt kaum zum Stout. Zuletzt malzig-säuerlich. 9/8/9/8/10/8
4.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
12 oz bottle, poured into 8 oz. glass.
Aroma: Roasty and Toasty Malts. Some notes of chocolate.
Appearance: Typical stout appearance, with a tinge of red when it’s being poured.
Taste: Wow. Much better than I expected. Starts sweet, with definite chocolate overtones, finishes very sour, with a burst of cherry flavor.
Palate: Slightly undercarbed for my taste; appropriately full-bodied.
Overall: This beer was SIGNIFICANTLY better than I expected. I will be anxious to try additional Bell’s beers in the future.

2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle into a snifter. Big head dissipated quickly, very dark. First I get a lot of tart cherry taste, pretty thin, tastes nothing like a stout. Then a huge wave of stout flavors, I was getting a lot of roasty chocolate. A very strange beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours black with brown hues and a brown head. Smell is mostly roasted malt, coffee, and chocolate. The taste is tart cherry with bittersweet chocolate. The cherries really come through on the finish. Chocolate is stronger as it warms up. Overall I really like this one. The cherry is tart rather than canned-cherry sweet. Smooth and creamy. Much better as a sipping beer.
