Can from Deconinck. Cloudy black, stable, frothy, beige head. Aroma of (maraschino) cherry, raisin, fruit cake, cinnamon, marzipan, almond, vanilla, cappuccino. Taste has sweet cherry, strawberry & raisin wrapped into a malty body of fruit pie, almond, marzipan and milk chocolate, topped by spicy cinnaomn and a dash of coffee. Herbal & peppery hoppy finish, lingering sweet cherry, vanilla, cookie spices and warming (cherry) liqueur-like alcohol, whilst the bourbon remains subtle. Full body, oily texture, soft carbonation. A lot of Pastry Stouts are obvious gimmicks but I wouldn't say the same about this Bakery edition: Bruery manages to keep things tight and there's certainly no bourbon overload. Yummy for sure.

01/24/20. Small gusher. Glossy black, dense tan head. Smell of sweet cherries, light cinnamon, some roast. Soft body, but a tad thin. Taste has some trace tartness, but also pretty sweet, almost no bitter. Lots of sweet cherry pulp, bit cinnamon, no roast

16 oz. can from 2019 RS. Thanks Adam! Aroma is bold cherry and cinnamon. Maybe there is some cherry hiding under all this cinnamon. A shit ton spice. Cherry is muted. It is just ok.

Pours black, small yet dark head. Scent is roasty, cinnamon, medium intense. Taste is sharp, almost tart trough the cherries. Full, mild bitterness, candy-like cherry aroma (poepegattekes). Roastyness is mild. Cinnamon is recognizable, but doesnt overpower. Feels lighter than it's actual ABV. Medium carbo. Not a big fan , but it's not bad.

Have to admit, while I'm not usually a fan of Cherry imperial stults as I don't think the flavors go that well together, this one is pretty good. The tart natural cherry against the roasty stout somehow works. Don't really pick up the vanilla. Can't see having another one but this is decent.
