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.

Jul 3, 2008 smells like a cherry pop, looks like a cherry pop mixed with root beer (uh oh!) - taste is actually better than I expected but tastes mostly like a sour cherry pop with unsweetened chocolate. Not much in the way of an actual beer in my opinion. Reminds of those old Diet Chocolate Raspberry pops flavored with Sacharin, so, in a word, yuck!

does not count  Jun 22, 2008 Dark red/brown pour. Hints of chocolate with a very subdued cherry taste toward the end. Great Flavor

Jun 13, 2008 Bottle: Brown pour with a nice sized beige head. Aroma is rich with chocolate cover cherries. Bits of roast. Flavor is more porter oriented than fruit beer, some nice roast and chocolate with a subtle cherry accent. Much better than I had expected. Still, the cherry flavoring leaves a bit to be desired.

Jun 6, 2008 bottled, pours deep black/red, aroma of cherry cordials mixed with coffee, surprisingly full flavor that matches the aroma perfectly without being overwhelming, not to heavy mouth feel with hints of citrus on the tongue, pretty clean aftertaste, like much more then expected

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.
