Andrew196 (1089), Anaheim Hills, California, USA Dec 7, 2002 A very hearty beer. Definitely had some fruitiness to it from start to finish. Tasted too sweet to be called a porter, almost more like a sweet stout with a slightly hopped finish....well done. aceofhearts (1373), San Francisco, California, USA Dec 6, 2002 Very dark with hints of mahogany on the edges of the glass. Prominent cherry and strawberry in the aroma and flavor. The tug-o-war between the hops and malt is about a draw, but I was really rooting for the hops. Given the fruity flavors of the beer, I thought that a more hop-forward character would have suited it better. Medium-bodied. Vaguely reminded me of a failed cherry stout homebrew that I had long ago.
