Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.5

Really dark ruby-brown, clear ruby highlights, small beige head. The aroma is balanced cherry jam sweetness, dark treacle and some dark bread / brownie pie crust. The alcohol slightly spices things up. The tase is the same dark malty goodness, with much less cherry syrup and more cocoa / chocolate. The only complaint is the body - it just does not feel like a 12% abv monster - it ether needs more sugars or more alcohol to keep it big - but the beer is a bit short on both. Otherwise, excellent.
