Been sitting on this one for a bit. Popped it open and wondered to my self why I had not drank it before now.
A: Pours a nice deep brown with evil shades of red showing through. The head is nice and tall, tan in color with a tint of red in it is well. Very nice retention and nice Belgian lace all the way down the glass.
S: Much much cherry in the aroma. Mostly tart with hints of candy sweetness beneath. Mild chocolate notes and a dash of roast.
T: Nice tart cherry juice up front. Not puckering tart, just a mild tartness. Hints of dark fruits and chocolate. Simple yet tasty.
M: Medium in body, rather lively carbonation. Zippy on the back end.
D: Good, nice light refreshing brew with just enough tartness to provide a nice lingering fruity tartness.
