12oz bottle-pours a rich off white head and orange/amber color. Aroma is cherry, medium malt-molasses, citrus. Taste is earthy (Fuggles?) hops, some copper bitterness, peat/caramel malt. Semi dry.

12 oz bottle courtesy of Thaichile. Pour is hazy orange ruby with a 1/2 inch egg white head. Nice lacing. Aroma of orange citrus hops, cherries and sweet biscuit maltiness. The cherry smell is sweet and ripe, fresh and natural smelling. Taste is cherry sweetness, though it is a bit more herbal and medicinal than the nose suggested. Some nice sour. The orange citrus is present with some bitterness though it is pretty muted. As it warms, the nutty biscuit maltiness comes out nicely. Tasty beer, nice complexities to the flavors. Palate is thin to medium, and a bit slick. Thanks for this one Mark, it was fun to try.

Draft at Max’s Taphouse, Baltimore. Filtered brown-red color. Creamy and malty, with the cherries and amber malt balancing each other out quite well. Mild aroma, with mild alcohol notes. Full of malty rich flavor, but a semi-watery finish.

12oz bottle....Pours dark amber with a beige head.....mostly malts on the aroma, until it sits then more cherry comes through to the nasal passages....a sweet malty flavor--pretty yummy actually--the cherries take last place unfortunately...but at least there presence is present--it comes through when I burb--mainly the finish reflects the cherry addition...its a clean well made brew--a hint of lacing on my glass as well, nothing to brag over mind you...also a bit overpriced...$10.25 for a six pack!!!
