Black. This has a very rich dark chocolate umami to it. Big, full body. Not getting the cherry…did it drop off or was it never there? Still a rich, delicious stout.

Bottle. Pours opaque black minimal head or lacing. Aroma is cocoa, mouthwash, peptol bismol cherry. Floodlit is medium sweet, light plus bitter. Better as it warms, but un awesome. Full body. Dear mister Fremont Brewer, please refrain from adding fruits to your Imperial stouts it is not a good thing.

Sweetish and slightly roasty with some notes of cherries, oak, vanilla and syrup --- Beer merged from original tick of 12th Anniversary Stout with Cherries (2021) on 17 Jun 2023 at 23:57 - Score: 8. Original review text: Sweetish and slightly roasty with some notes of cherries, oak, vanilla and syrup
Leftover sample, thanks Bart! Smells roasty, bourbon, plenty of syrupy cherry. Smooth body, soft carbonation, not crazy thick, pretty boozy. Taste is lots of chocolate and plenty of bourbon, clear vanilla. Cherry is restrained but noticable. Tasty stuff!
Magus, kaneel, hapukas, kirsine, tugev alks, šokolaad, röst. Ok.

Aus der 0,65 Flasche (bbe 01.03.2026) im 2022-09 getrunken. Dieses Stout erinnert an ein Schwarzwälder-Kirsch-Schokoladen Kuchen. Aber nicht wirklich süß! Klar ein tolles Stout auch wenn es für eine Anniversary-Edition man sicher noch mehr erwarten könnte. Aber wie so oft ist das reine Geschmacksache!

650 ml bottle. Pours black with short tan head. Aromas of Neopolitan ice cream, chocolate syrup, and roasted malts. Flavor of chocolate nougat, dark but not sour cherries, soft bourbon and oily roasted malts. Warm finish. Very good.
