650 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with little head. Aromas of sweet cherry chocolate. Flavors follow same but very much artificial cherry/vanilla extract.

Pretty watery and unremarkable. Pours black with ok head and lacing. Aroma has notions of cherry but the chocolate is a bit of a stretch. Finishes watery and sour. Light palate, thin consistency. Bottle.

Very dark black-amber body and ugly fizzy head. Aroma of grass and barley. Taste is very thin fruit notes that evaporates on the tongue from all the carbonation; no chocolate at all. Watery finish. This is extremely disappointing.

On tap at St. Augustine's, pours dark brown with a reddish hue and small tan head. Aroma of a fairly even mixture between chocolate, cherries and roasted malt. Flavour reveals the roasted malt initially, with the cherries following and the chocolate kicking in subtly on the finish. Quite decent.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Dark brown color, almost black; thin creamy head. Light aroma of coffee. Chocolatey flavor with traces of coffee, lean; the mouthfeel is not too dry; luckily there is no cherry, maybe just a very light sour note in the end. Not bad, very clean, easily drinkable.

Thanks to JoeMcPhee for sharing - very clear dark amber beer - aroma of chocolate syrup, tart cherries, a tiny bit of roast, some metallic qualities - smells cheap and adjunct-laden - the flavor is a bit better, but fairly bland - a touch of roast, chalky character, cocoa, some cherry on the end - kind of vegetal - meh.
