Lakefront Black Cherry

Brewed by Lakefront Brewery
Style: Stout
Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA

Dark brown with a thin off-white head. Aroma of dark and toasted malts and cherry. Taste of cherry, dark malts and mild chocolate. Dry finish with a cherry aftertaste. Not stellar, but not bad.

On draught at the brewery, must be on brewery tour to receive this special beer. Pours an opaque dark brown brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that dissipates clean with no ring, nor film top. Aroma of roasted dark chocolate malt, some light molasses, roasted nuts and a little bing cherries. Taste is medium bodied, no carbonation with flavors of roasted dark malt, a touch of chocolate, some sugar, and very light cherry. Finish has a metallic aftertaste that quickly disappears. Not much cherry flavor compared to most other cherry beers.

Pint at the brewery. Near black with a smallish off-white head. Aromas of roasted malt, toast and hints of fruitcake. Flavors start with some dark chocolate and roasted malts. Some light dark and slightly sour cherry flavors. Has a mild belgian qualities, akin belgian stouts anyway. Some what interesting but does not hold my attention lng enough to have a second.

Crushed with Jakebra at the brewery. Not much different than the Snake Chaser but with a worse mouthfeel and some maybe cherries in there. Not one to try again.
