| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 21, 2009 Bottle. Interesting Belgian style stout. Pours a black body with a tan head. The yeast give this beer a tart cherry pit and skin character, that warms with a hint of tart acidity. Chocolate malts, caramel and some sweet and tart cherry notes. A nice surprise.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 19, 2009 draft from ginger man. Poured dark with almost no head. Taste was a pretty tame malty chocolatey. KnN (753), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 18, 2009 Pours a cloudy brown ale color. Not really like a stout at all. Tight bubbles on a two finger head. Aroma is malt, dark fruit, raisins, some cherry. Not much roast or chocolate. this is more vinous than malty. Not bad. joechristenson (36), Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 12, 2009 Thick head, lingers and clings for a while. Aroma is a bit fainter than expected, but is definitely dominated by deep red fruits - cherries? - and some dry , roasted malts. Deep dark mahogany color . . . it was dark at the Muddy Pig, but the translucent red around the edges was still visible. Vibrant on the palate. As the aroma suggests, the taste is dry roasted malts with a good red fruit flavor (less distinguishable than I hoped -- tastes like aged dark cherries, but that’s more of an estimate than a definitive description). A bit bitter, but more so at the back of the palate - definitely a feature of the aftertaste. WisconsinBeer (531), St Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 7, 2009 Tap, Muddy Pig. Pours a deep hazy brownish red color with a medium head and lots of lacing. Flavors are bready roasted malts and deep ripe raisin fruits. There’s also a hint of spice towards the end. Finish is dry hop and hints of alcohol. Well done and intriguing for the style.
