Pours dark brown, with a brown head. Aroma is bourbon, cherries, chocolate, and vanilla. Flavor is bourbon, cherries, chocolate, malt, vanilla and alcohol. I’m liking this one, but it is still a little hot and kind of in your face. Thanks to cpferris for this bottle.

Aug 17, 2008 Bottle: Batch 7777 from the Eccentric Cafe: Pitch black pour with a rocky, deep tan head. Basically this comes off like a bourbon-soaked cherry covered in fine chocolate both in the nose and taste...some mild woodsy tones noted. Amazing brew!

Aug 16, 2008 12oz bottle via trade with mmm///beer. Pours like motor oil with a small, chocolate colored head. The nose had hints of tart cherry, bourbon and oak. One of the better brews I’ve had from Bells.

Bottle: The aroma consists of bourbon, butterscotch, chocolate, and light tart cherries. It pours a dark brown,virtually black, with a moderate beige head. The flavor starts with chocolate and very faint butterscotch. The bourbon presence is subtle. The finish has some moderate tart cherry notes. Much better than the regular cherry stout. So much better, that I need to revisit the regular Cherry Stout in order to see if I like it better than my old rating.

Aug 13, 2008 [Batch 7777] Poured a dark brown / chestnut color with a small, tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of bourbon, vanilla, cherry, charred oak, roasted malts, and a bit of cocoa. Taste of vanilla, roast, dark chocolate, toffee, bourbon, sweeter cherries, and a dry, oaky finish. Another thanks to Steve for this gem!

Aug 13, 2008 12 oz bottle from batch 7777 courtesy of sprinkle. Pours black with a medium sized diminishing tan head. I found myself continuing to just revisit the aroma over and over. Nose was black cherry, molasses, vanilla, wood, bourbon, and light chocolate. The flavor had more cherry, molasses, chocolate, vanilla, bourbon and oak. There was also some acidity that accompanied the alcohol especially as it warmed a bit. This beganon the sticky full side, but thinned a little as it warmed up. I am happy to have sampled this excellent beer.
