May 4, 2008 Bug thanks to Matt for pulling this out at the pre-dld celebration. He said that it was about one year old and had spent about 18 months in the barrel. What a great guy. Dark brown with red color and tan head. Aroma was dark cherry that was sweet with a little grapiness. Large red fruit flavor with sour brown tones. Medium body. This has held up really well.

May 4, 2008 Pour is dark brownish black with a thin tan head...smell is lightly roasty with some chocolate covered cherries....taste was dominated by cherry sweetness with some hints at roasty chocolate toward the finish...thanks for busting this out!!!

May 1, 2008 Pours a dark brownish red color and smells very wine like with notes of dark cherries. Taste is similar with a slightly tart vinuous cherry flavor and not really roasty like I’d expect from the stout portion, but still rich in flavor. Low carbonation and pretty enjoyable. Unique for sure.

Apr 29, 2008 Not only do the guys at Flossmoor host this awesome Pre-DLD event they even give away some of their rarest beers. Thanks to Matt for pouring this, I love this brewpub. Pours dark brown with a soapy white head. Nose is a nice blend of sour cherries with some caramel and chocolate notes that are more subdued. Slight sweetness and chocolate in the flavor but mostly sour cherries. Really tasty.

Apr 28, 2008 Rating #1500. Growler @ Flossmoor, pre-DLD fest, courtesy of the brewers. Thanks to the Flossmoor folks for busting this out for us! I had originally planned on putting BA Dark Lord here, but it seems more fitting to go in order, especially if it incidentally gives props to the Flossmoor folks for putting on such a great evening for us. Pours a murky, chocolate brown color; light tan head with patchy lacing. Loads of overripe cherries, nougat, caramel, and red fruit leather in the aroma; slightly tart, overripe red fruit and caramel. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: mildly tart cherries, caramel, fruit leather and overripe red fruits; relaxed carbonation; intricate, tasty stuff. Medium finish: overripe red fruits, fruit leather, and a touch of toasty oak and barrel character.
