Shared by Immy at Immy’s Backyard Throwdown. Thanks! Pours a murky orange color with a medium head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of toffee, caramel and cherries. Taste is tart cherries, cocoa, toffee, cranberry and something milky. Lightly bitter and lightly tart. Full bodied.

Bottled #362. A hazy deep red beer with a thin lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of fresh fruit, cranberries, wood, roasted malt, and over ripe fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of dusty hops, over ripe fruits as well as lighter notes of cranberries, alcohol, and chocolate. There is a slight tartness in the finish. Thanks Shaun for sharing.

Courtesy of tpd975. Pours deep dark brackish brown with thin tan head. The aroma is roasty dark malts and chocolate blending into notes of cranberries, ripe strawberries and other assorted fruits. Pleasing mild mix of aromas. The taste starts with a quick pulse of dark malts to chocolate malts to thick sticky malt sweetness and turns quickly toward somewhat unripe fruit tartness. This fruit tartness persists and rides all the way to the finish with notes of dark, sweet and chocolate malts showing up from time to time and growing some into the finish.

Courtesy of tpd975. Thanks Greg. Pours a dark amber/black. Aroma is filled with cranberries and hops. Mouthfeel has hints of chocolate, tart and a little too bitter in my opinion.

Very dark brown and almost free of carbonation. Fruit and malt aroma, but the malt is dry rather than thick. This beer is fairly dry overall. Flavor has good, sour fruit, and it does seem like natural fruit and no artificial flavoring. Not sweet at all, but interesting palate that is kind of heavy.
