A pitch black beer with a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of hops, but also light alcoholic notes. The flavor is sweet with light notes of cherries, and a slight acidity lingering in the back ground.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours completely black and opaque with a light brown head. Vinous, lightly tart aroma. Medium-bodied, some burned, malty accents and a fruity tartness. The cherries don’t really reveal themselves. 300406

A rich, potent stout flavoured with sour cherries. Roasty with licquoriuce flavour and a well balanced flavour of tart cherries. I really like it!

Black color; thin brown head. Roasted malt aroma, with some liquorice and light phenol. Medium body strength, some malt, roasted malt, light acidity (the fruits?), some cardboard. Not bad, but not needed.

Creamy brown head atop nice black body. Aroma is medium sweet, cherry, light chocolate. Taste is cherry accented by chocolate, medium sweet, light tart. Finish has light alcohol burn. Full body and creamy.

LCRBM2. This beer seemed to split people. Deep brown colour. Bit of plasticky cherry on aroma. Sourish in mouth. Malty. Very good and very different cherry stout. Fruit is well integrated.
