Jan 13, 2008 [1000-20071223] 1pt9.4floz (c/o GregClow, w/ him, jerc). Super red sweet cherry pie aroma. Cloudy, dark bright red body with a long-lasting off-white head. Sweet cherry pie continues in the flavour along with tart cherry skins in the background. Medium body has a tart finish. Lingering on this simply allows even more exceptional characteristics to reveal themselves.
Other notes: Just before this bottle, we had been rating a superb <A HREF=http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/ottos-jolly-roger-imperial-stout/60439/41473/>Jolly Roger Imperial Stout (c/o boboski) and had decided on a whim to see what would happen if we mixed a little of the Red and the Roger together... The two beers on their own are lovely, lovely beverages, but together they made a remarkably memorable experiment for a cherry imperial stout...
Lastly, yay 1000 ratings! That was pleasantly unexpected. I should definitely thank the Toronto boys for letting me join in with them this past year -- now I’m totally hooked and it’s all your fault, jerc. ;)

Jan 12, 2008 Courtesy of Dragonstout. Pours a opaque red with a white head. Has huge hints of cherries. Alcohol not present. Seemed like a fruit juice more than a beer. Finished refreshing and clean on the tongue. Great for a fruit beer.

Jan 11, 2008 Pours a hazy reddish with thin head. Aroma of fresh baked cherry pie, cherry juice, and a little bit of mustiness. The aroma is almost addictive. I couldn’t stop smelling it. The flavor is more sweet natural cherries followed by a little tartness. Perhaps a little more must and some funky wheat, and a touch of spice. Finishes a little tart with some lingering dryness and cherry flavor. Lively carbonation. Medium body. I got to get some more of this. Happy 1000 to me!

Jan 3, 2008 Very strong scent of cherries. Not the fake colored cherries that you buy in a jar, but the scent of real cherries. Very smooth going down. Almost tastes like a soda with alcohol. This is a fruit beer that I would purchase again if I could find it.

Jan 3, 2008 As a general rule, i dont care for fruit beers. I typically avoid them. Ross pulled this out and said I would like. He was right. Pours out a nice cloudy red color with a decent pink head. aroma is full of cherries and sweetness. Flavor is the same. i was expecting it to be rather tart, but it wasnt. damn fine beer!
