This is a real nice one to look at - shiny charcoal black, 1/4 inch cocoa powder head that slides around the edges of the small glass leaving nice lacing. Aroma is strong - roasty and chocolate - where the heck’s the cherry?(-1 point for that one!). Taste - hmm, if I concentrate really hard, I can kind of taste some sweet fruitiness at the front, but it’s quickly followed by some chocolate and then a big whomp of roast and very assertive bitterness. A decent imperial stout, but again, where’s the cherry????? (On tap at the Church, 9/2005)
