Mar 24, 2009 Had this on tap at the Tyranena tasting room - Poured dark brown with small tan head.
Aroma - coffee, chocolate and cherries.
Flavor - very easy drinking coffee, chocolate and mild cherry taste.
Palate - light/ medium mouthfeel with little carbonation. Finish is slightly earthy with definite cherry aftertaste.
Overall - unique porter, that cherry puree addition is pretty good and not overly done. Lacks some malt flavor on palate, but still good!

Mar 23, 2009 Tap at the Happy Gnome. Black color with a large head. No real aroma to speak of. Sharp roasted malt character. Light chocolate. Certainly cherries, but not nearly enough to make me actually think this is a cherry porter without seeing the label. Thick and creamy feel. A little disappointing with the lack of cherry flavor, but enjoyed as a simple porter, it’s still solid.

Mar 23, 2009 Poured a nice dark brown/blackish color with a medium tan head. Great aromas of roasted malt, coffee and some chocolate. I was really trying to detect the cheery aroma. I think I may have smelled a few molecules of cherry,but that was it. Flavor is of roasted malts, and coffee, but that’s where it gets interesting. There seems to be a clash of the roasted malts, with the tartness of the cherries. The cherries per say are not too distinct, but the tartness is. Wonderful bitter porter-like finish.. I think I was looking for a little more cherry flavor in this brew. Not bad though.

Mar 22, 2009 Poured black with a tan head. Aroma of roast malt and dark chocolate. Taste was toasted malt, chocolate and a hint of cherry. Just as promised. Creamy texture. Very satisfying.

Mar 22, 2009 12 oz bottle. Dark brown with a foamy tan head. Nose is coffee and brown sugar with faint citrus and cherry. Medium body with crisp, tangy carb. Taste is mocha and tart cherry juice. Develops into a dark chocolate and cherry pit finish. Just enough fruit; good.
