Bottle. Black with a beige head. Aromas are roast malts, coffee, glace cherries, chocolate and floral perfume notes. Has berry fruit with some sourness. with alcohol fumes. Flavours are light roast malts with dark cherries, earthy coffee and chocolate. Prickly carbonation hides some of the character. Shame. Reminded me of Cherry Coke. Good stuff.

This cherry stout floods out of the bottle and the color is very dark brown and the head is huge. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, yeast, berries and a hint and chocolate. The flavour has the same notes. It’s not a powerful stout, it has a nice berry acidity and balanced malty notes, but it’s not one that will keep me awake during the night...

Bottle conditioned. Near black with a thick tan head. Nice roasted malt aroma with coffe, chocolate and cherries and a suggestion of alcohol. Flavours are roast malts, cherries, chocolate and alcohol. Quite highly carbonated with a big warming alcoholic finish, which is not too subtle, but it just about gets away with it. Good.
