Brewed by Atwater Block Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer

poured dark brown to black with a big light beige head. aroma sour cherry, chocolate, malt. flavor a nice sweet sour cherry, roasted malts, a of smoke. this hit the spot after working around the house will get more of this.

12oz bottle. Gusher upon opening. Black, with slight hint of deep red. Big foamy beige head. Smooth chocolate aroma, some very faint cherry. The taste is quite nice, tart and creamy at the same time. The cherry is quite tart and astringent, good but a touch artificially infused. Medium bodied, this is a beer I’d love to session. Not much roast, the cherry really balances all of that out. Underrated.

Bottle from Siciliano’s Market, Grand Rapids, MI. Dark brown, almost opaque with slightly ruby tint and medium, creamy, beige head. Aroma is sour cherry upront, some vinegar, cheesy. Flavor is cherry, yogurt, sour, vinegar, very interesting, but was it intentional ? Medium to full with nice carbonation. Surprising, I wonder what this tasted like fresh, good though.

12 oz bottle. Pours brown with a golden tint, tan head. Aroma of roasted cherries. Sweet cherry taste, with a slight bitter malty finish. Pretty good stuff.

A little heavy on the cherry part of the equation and lighter on the stout part, but I kinda liked it anyway. Black with areddish hue and a loose foamy white head. Aroma and flavor both crisp, tart cherry and only a hint of chocolate and coffee. Surprisingly thin bodied, as well, Kind of unorthodox, but I liked it.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark red-brown color with a very large dark brown head. The aroma was sweet malts with tart cherry, apple and pineapple. The flavor was tart, bitter, sour, malty and had a light cherry and toasty presence. The finish was malty sour cherry and lingered for a long time. The body was rather thin. Interesting.

Had this new offering on tap at the brewery. Pours a nice dark brown with a reddish hugh. Foam was thick, tan and left nice lacing. The body of the beer was a little lean, but had nice notes of coffee married with the hint of tart cherries. I found this to be a very pleasant and drinable stout.

Bottle from BOTW. Poured the darkest red I’ve ever seen. Average head. Good aroma of sweetness,cherries and roasted malt. Flavor the same with chocolate added. Good stout body. Interesting enjoyable brew.
