Nov 17, 2007 Pours black from 12 oz bottle, forming dark brown foam head. Aroma of coffee’s, tinge of cherry, roasted malts. Flavour is of cherry flavoured coffee! Roasted malts comes through slightly too. A different beer I must say, but I like it. No alcohol detected, a very complex and unique beer!

Nov 15, 2007 Strange aroma I can’t quite place, but I don’t like it. Flavor definately of sour cherries with a roasted malt finish. Thin mouth feel for a stout. Not bad, but not something I would pick again.

Nov 12, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours like 3-year old used motor oil with a small reddish brown head. Lacing disappears quickly. Smells of roasted coffee, slight cherries. Tastes of chocolate, coffee and a nice cherry aftertaste. Great stout aftertaste and some dryness from the fruit. Recommended as a snack, not necessarily for session work. Very nice.

Nov 7, 2007 Thanks to gregis for getting me this from my want list
Pour is black with small tan head. Smell is soy sauce and tart unsweetened cherry juice. I was making chinese food for dinner so I brought out the Kikkoman to do a side by side smelling, and it was verified. Taste is unsweetened sour cherry mostly. Not getting a lot of roastiness, except for in a slight soy sauce way. Not pleasant, and I really wanted to like this as it was one of the first beers I put on my want list after joining the site. Absolutely could not finish it.

Nov 2, 2007 Delicious strong aroma of roasted barley, bordering on beef. Opaque black pour with a medium brown head, good lacing. The taste is complex and incredibly well balanced with a tastefully viscous mouthfeel. Coffee and cherry layers rest on a bed of charred lamb. It finishes rapidly into a whisper of smoke. Superb!

Oct 30, 2007 Updated: Oct 31, 2007bottle. pours black, with a thin red head. aroma of cherry, oats, and light alcohol - the combination gives it a slightly medicinal quality. flavor is tart cherries and caramel. mild carbonation. the combination of tart dark fruit, thick body and warming alcohol don’t do it for me - felt like i was drinking a refined dimetap. if you like fruit stouts, you may give it a go, but its not my bag.
