Jul 20, 2007 12 oz bottle. Pours black with very little head that disapates very quickly. Slight cherry nose with some coffee. Kind of like a chocolate covered cherry. Nice stout flavor, chocolate and coffee, very little hoppiness. Ends strongly with a lot of cherry. Kind of sour. Pretty damn good.

Jul 13, 2007 Batch 7674. Beer is very dark, opaque brown with a small, light brown, creamy, quickly and mostly diminishing head.<P>The aroma is malty with moderate notes of roasted grain, chocolate milk, light shortbread; Hoppy with light herbal resin/pine notes; Yeasty with light/moderate notes of basement; Light miscellaneous notes of tart cherry, vanilla, spicy cola.<P>The flavor is light/moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter with a long, moderately bitter, light/moderately acidic, lightly sweet finish.<P>The body is medium, the texture is watery/velvety and the carbonation is soft/lively.<P>Don’t like the creamy malt/tart fruit combination. Seems like it should be on the verge of curdling itself

Jul 13, 2007 Bottle (batch 7674). Head is initially small, frothy, brown, mostly diminishing. Body is opaque black (flashlight tested). Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (roasted grain, dark chocolate), with a light note of cherry. Flavor is moderately sweet, moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. Good appearance and mouthfeel, but there’s really not much to the aroma and the blend of sour and bitter is not particularly pleasant. Not a fan.
