Bottle. Cherry, light roasty malt, and a touch of chocolate aroma. Dark brown with a small tan head. Toast, tart cherry, dusty hops flavor. Light to medium body, light carbonation, dryish finish. Not horrible, but not all that great either.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled 11/28/2011. Pours slightly hazy reddish brown color with a nice 2 finger dense khaki head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Some good spotty lacing down the glass as you drink. Aromas of caramel, biscuit, toasted malt, cherry juice, and herbal hops. Some decent and pleasant aromas; with decent strength and low complexity. Taste of chocolate, biscuit, toasted malt, cherry juice, caramel, pine, herbal hops, and light earthiness. Good amount of piney bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of toasted malt, biscuit, pine, cherry, and earth on the finish for a good bit. A good balance of the cherry juice is present with the malts, making it just enough to be noticeable. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel; with some prickly carbonation. The large earthy and piny hoppiness make this a bit challenging on the palate. Alcohol is well hidden with hardly any warming noticed; as expected for 5%. Overall this is an alright porter. Much more spicy hoppiness, and high astringency than I was hoping for. Not really what I would classify as being a porter.

This beer pours a dark ruby brown color with a thin light beige head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. The aroma consists of chocolate malt and cherries. Light body with a semi-sweet cherry character and notes of roasted malt, chocolate and hops. The finish is short and malty. Slightly above average overall.

Cask. Reddish brown with a small off white head. Both aroma and flavor dominated by cherry with the normal porter flavors mainly overpowered. Not really to my taste.

12 oz bottle. Pours reddish brown with a very light tan head. Light cocoa, cherry, caramel hints in the aroma. Flavor is kind of vague at first, but eventually I start to taste some cherry, brown sugar, roastiness, and some bitter chocolate. It’s decent.

On tap during the Biere De Goord release. Poured near black with a red hue and a light cream brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma had some tart cherries a bit of alcohol and a dark grain backbone. The cherries were a bit overly tart on the tongue, basically acidic. The cherries really battled the dark grains and it made for an odd combination.
