On cask at The Ginge Man. It pours a frothy head that requires the barmaid to use two glasses. Aroma of cherries and oak, but faint. Black, non-oily body leaves little lacing and no film on the glass. Walnut, malt, and oak flavors. Not sure why this is classified as an Imperial IPA, it’s as thin as most normal stouts. . The cherry is more of an aftertaste.

Dec 31, 2009 On tap @ McGrath’s. Pours a deep, dark black with a small tan head. Sweet, malty cherry aroma, like a flat, old fashioned soda. Sour up front, but not a sour like a good lambic. Good carbonation bite with a sweet and smooth cherry/malty finish. Not bad, once you get past the odd sourness.

Oct 29, 2009 Draught@Akkurat, Stockholm. Black colour, big creamy beigeish brown head. Aroma is roasted malts, caramel, chocolate, coffee, some smoked wet wood as well as some mild notes of cherries. Flavour is quite much the same and also has some liquorice and tarry notes in addition. Cherries barely show in this brew.

Oct 25, 2009 (Cask) Almost black colur with very small tan coloured head. Aroma contained roastedness and liquorice. Medium bodied palate with very low carbonation. There were roastedness, liquorice, sourness, berries, ash and bitterness in taste. Aftertaste was mainly ashy. Good beer although the cherries were quite well hidden.

Oct 17, 2009 (Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm, 16 Oct 2009) Black colour with creamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of chocolate, smoke and tar. Roasted, malty taste with some smoke, tar, chocolate, dark fruit and hints of cherries. Well balanced finish with moderate bitterness and a touch of sweetness. Full body. Overall more smoke and tar than cherries. Very nice beer.

Oct 9, 2009 Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm. Almost black, rich creamy head. Tarry nose with fruity black currant. Sweet and very full bodied, soft with amounts of roasty malt coming across as tar and licorice. The sour cherries are subtle in comparison, making this a harmonious despite the somewhat crazy concept. Perhaps the overt sweetness disturbs a little bit in the finish.
