Shakedown Imperial Chocolate Cherry Stout is a full-bodied imperial stout with cherries and dark chocolate blended into the beer during fermentation. Aromas of bittersweet chocolate and subtle fruit delight the senses. Tartness from the cherries balances the smooth cocoa sweetness. Malty, chocolate and dark fruit flavors create a rich and complex beer that is meant to be savored slowly.

Bomber shared by obguthr at the 21st Richmond Gathering, 11/1/14. Pours a dark brown with a thin frothy tan head. Decent head retention. Aroma of roast, dry cherries, hints of dark chocolate. The taste is chocolate, roast, cherries, vegetal notes. Medium bodied, mild lingering bitterness.
