Sep 5, 2009 Bottle. Poured an opaque black color. The head was one finger high and light brown with an orange tint. Head retention was good and some lace was left behind on the glass. I smelled chocolate mostly with just a whiff of roast. There wasn’t any significant cherry in the nose. Medium bodied and delicately sweet up front with mild roasty bitterness at the end. Chocolate, roasted malt, and a hint of subdued vague fruit flavors emerged. Again, I didn’t get any distinct cherry, per se. Decent, but where is the cherry?

Sep 4, 2009 courtesy of Zack.
pours dark brown, beige head.
Aroma of cherry puree with hints of chocolate malts, caramel.
Flavor, cherry is right where it should be though a little in the background but doesn’t add any type of tartness.
Good malty and chocolate notes

Aug 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours black with an average, frothy light brown head, somewhat diminishing with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (molasses, chocolate, nutty), light hop (herbs), average yeast (leather) with notes of cherry. Medium bodied, creamy texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.
