riversideAK (2648), Shoreline, Washington, USA Apr 19, 2008 Tap at Duck Island. Dark brown with red hues and a nice tan head. Had an aroma that was like a cherry tootsie roll, or Cherry chocolate Dr. Pepper. It smelt artificial. A little earthy too. This was like a chocolate cherry coke to me with a mildly earthy hop finish. I like Cherry Coke and Dr. Pepper, but this somewhat odd. bitbucket (2026), Kirkland, Washington, USA Apr 18, 2008 On tap at Duck Island. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Cherry tootsie-roll aroma. Medium body and carbonation. Taste of chocolate, artificial cherries, artificial vanilla, with a somewhat medicinal and rather metallic finish. I couldn’t get close to finishing this. beerinmarch (2781), Alabama, USA Apr 9, 2008 Pours dark brown with a tan/beige head. Sweet cherry nose. This whole brew just tasted like cherry ice cream, a bit sweet and syrupy on the cherry flavor. kyzr (1119), Belgrade, Montana, USA Mar 17, 2007 Dark in color with small off brown head. Nose of toasted nut and cherry. Flavor is mild cherry with some smoke and chocolate. Finish is thick and woody. BückDich (4785), McCall, Idaho, USA Sep 26, 2005 Draught at the Rogue Hero Pub in Bellingham, WA Light red, dark black, tan head, light lacing. Nose of light medicinal cherry and some odd roasted funky malt. The flavor is very medicinal like the juice from a jar of mendocino cherries and a very dry mouthfeel. Chalky & overfermented. Not too good.
