3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Temptation (127) - - APR 15, 2013
Black color, deep brown head, shortlasting. Aromas to cherries, black fruits, black coffee and some spices like cinnamon in the back. The mouthfeel is very nice , surprisingly refreshing, where the coffee notes are well balanced with the slight acidity from the black fruits. Very original brew, refreshing, watery and with a acid aftertaste which makes this beer a summer one. I liked it.

Kullsvart med ravfarget skum og moderat skum. Lukter av god malt og kaffe. Smak av sjokolade, men smaken av bær er framtredende. Middels bitter og moderat karbonering gjør dette til en vinner.

12oz bottle, thanks to Umich03jm. Black color. Good brown head. Awesome lace. Pretty great-looking. Nice chocolate flavor, and good big black cherry. Very well blended. Moderate bitter, little sweet (tart) taste. Some roasty malts. Pretty sure I prefer this over Bells’ cherry porter. More my style. I feel like the cherry is bigger and tastier, here. Very special stuff
