| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | May 20, 2008 Bottle... Poured near black with red highlights and a light brown head that also has some red in it. Aroma has strong cherry and grenadine. Really smooth like chocolate milk and grenadine and some toasted malt to remind you that you are drinking a beer. Slightly like a cough drop but pretty ok. Sleeper (76), Washington, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | May 16, 2008 Pours redish with little head. The beer is pretty thin in the mouth. The taste is very cherry with lots of grain in the after taste. This isn’t too bad but not much my style. Angeloregon (2025), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 16, 2008 From a 12-ounce bottle purchased at By The Bottle in Vancouver, WA--Poured a deep brown-amber body with a one-finger fluffy white head that quickly dissipates. Bold, sweet cherry nectar nose with some roasty notes. Thin, sweet mouthfeel. Some chocolate and lots of sugary cherries. Not the most exciting beer, but for those who like cherries, this is a cherry bomb! BrewDad (2370), Olympia, Washington, USA

Aroma – Had a nice cherry and porter dark malt aroma.
Appearance – Reddish Brown in color, thin head and actually was hazy for a porter.
Flavor – Wow this beer goes south fast. Has a cherry start then after a few sips this beer goes flat, with a dark chocolate dry sour flavor. Not a good flavor for this beer was chalky, and very off.
Palate – Sour Mouthfeel, Chalky texture with a dry bakers chocolate finish.
Overall – I was looking so forward in trying this beer that when I got it. I was very disappointed. I was hoping for this awesome beer but I got the exact opposite. This beer needs work. I just hope this was a bade keg and the others where rocking. I will try again at a later date.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Apr 30, 2008 Bottle. Poured deep red brown with red tinged head. Aroma of cherries and a little roast. Bitter cherry flavour, not much else. Unsweetened cherry finish that lasts longer than you wish.
I had hoped this would be like Walking Man’s Black Cherry stout. I was disappointed.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 1/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Apr 25, 2008 2008 Bottle - Pours a thick brownish red, aroma is attractive but completely artificial. This would not be a bad porter, but the cherry flavour is hard to swallow (no pun intended) and just detracts. The smoke/vanilla/ all other goodness is almost unnoticable. Will not buy again...
