BlackForestCO (478), Fort Collins and Black Forest, Colorado, USA Dec 28, 2007 On tap at the brewpub. Poured a deep auburn-red color with a slight off-white head. Aroma of light cherries. Taste was basically all cherries, but not the tart, sour taste that I was hoping for. Not overly fruity. It was nice, but not what I was expecting when I read the description. Murphy (1759), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Nov 5, 2005 Tap, 2005. Pours with a fading head and a dark clear copper color. Very light aroma with just the slightest hints of sweet cherries. Taste is earthy, dark cherries, cherry cobbler comes to mind. Hardly tart, a real departure from the sour brown styles. Interesting and enjoyable, though not overly complex. Body could be maltier. Dry finish, cherries become more apparent. Beaver (460), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Nov 13, 2003 Updated: Sep 28, 2004Coopersmith's Anniversary Cherry Ale poured dark ruby red with a nice head with medium bubbles that quickly dissipated except for a small remainder. It had a mild cherry bouquet. The beer had a nice cherry taste that was not overwhelming, but it had a slightly acidic aftertaste. Normally, I'm not a big fruity beer fan, but this cherry was fairly mild and very drinkable.
