MiP (11783) - Sønderborg, DENMARK - DEC 21, 2010
Bottle, 7.0%. Sweet papery aroma, hint of acidic fruit, cherry, I suppose. Black colour, seems muddy. Very small dark brown head. The flavour starts off roasted, turns nicely acidic from the cherries. There seems to be some nice coffee in there, as well. Good balance between stout and cherry.

well balanced chocolate and cherry flavor, malty sweetness is offset by a light cherry tartness, as it warms the cherry comes on strong adding both a fruity sweetness and a bigger balancing tartness,
