Commercial Description:
A full-bodied strong ale brewed with raisins and finished with dark Bing cherries. The raisins give this high alcohol brew an almost port character with a hint of cherries in the finish.

Tap at Papago. Aroma of cherries and alaohol. Dark in the pub but body looked like it had a ruby tynt to it. Small white head with some lacing. Flavor of malts, cherries and alcohol. This beer isn’t as sweet and tart as a friut beer would sometimes be. Alcohol on palate.. So if your an alcohol content beer drinker you should try this one if available at brewery or papago in Arizona.

Great looking ruby brown, big head. Sweet and very fruity. Woody. Boozy. Aftertaste hangs around a bit too long.

Tasted on tap at Brewery. Deep Red Color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is raisins, oranges and cherries. A full bodied American Strong Ale. Malts are very fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly spicy. An interesting beer, lots of cherry flavors, somewhat sweet and sour, yet there is a lot of raisins flavors as well. They compete and contrast will all those caramel malts. Sort of reminiscent of Dog Fish Head Rasion de Etre, but with cherries added. Smooth taste. Mostly sweet with those tart and sweet cherry flavors popping up every once in a while. A weird and different beer. Definitely worth trying. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
