Sample (thanks fonefan!). Black colour, small off-white head. Aroma is cherries, wood, vanilla, alcohol and some sweet black cherry tones. Flavour is cherries, vanilla, some toffee, mild toasted and dry wooden notes. Leaves a bit thin.

Wasn't completely sure what to expect here, but it works quite well. Some raisins, some caramel, bit of slight roastyness, and a heck of a lot of cherry. Dr. Pepper beer boozyness. Fun stuff.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Clear mahogany colour, small head. Candyish nose with brandy and strawberries. Sweet with medium to full body and well rounded mouthfeel. Blackberries and wood, some licorice. Mildly warming finish. Interesting, sweet and potent.

Can. Color: Very dark ruby, almost black. Very thin beige head. Aroma: Dark malt, mocha, quite a lot of cherry, boozy notes. Taste: Starting dark malt, some roasted malt, coffee and mocha notes. After a second or two the boozy cherry Brandy come in and takes over. Finishing almost candy-like: Sweetish cherry gums with booze notes, ending dry-ish and bittery.. Over medium body, just below average carbonation. Well brewed, but just not my kind of beer.
