Sep 14, 2007 Tap. Black with no head. The aroma was of roasted malt,grain, and light cherries. The taste was mainly bittersweet but very grainy. Light tart cherry notes throughout. Nothing special here.

clear dark brown, whispy brown head, nice lace, roasted aroma with light cherry character, creamy body, rich roasted and chocolate flavor balanced by some light cherry flavor and tartness, the roasted fades leaving a great interplay between the chocolate and the cherry

Aug 4, 2007 At the brewery on tap. Pours dark black with a brown head. Aroma and flavor are dominated by coffee/chocolate. However, I didn’t notice any cherry taste.

Aug 1, 2007 Draft @ BP. Nice and roasty malts but the mouthfeel and body are on the thin side. There is an artificial cherry flavor that if natural would be some saving grace to this stuff. Not much in the head retention department either. The chocolate comes through in the finish though making it drinkable. Nothing to run out to find though.

Jul 22, 2007 On tap. I was disappointed that the cherry aspect wasn’t accentuated to what I expected but this is probably one of the best Blue Point offerings I’ve sampled with elements of roasted malts, some mahogany, chocolate and a nice creamy but elegant texture. Alcohol is well hidden.

Jul 7, 2007 Tap @ Blue Point Brewery, Patchogue, NY. Pours almost black with a nice off-white head. Smells like roasted malt with slight earthy notes and a hint of cherry at the end. The flavor is largely sweet in the front, with noticeable coffee notes and malt characteristics. I wish I’d tasted more cherry, but this was a good beer.
