But indeed this is an Imperial Porter brewed with black cherry and it only went public thanks to this little 'ruse de guerre'.

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with slightly late awakening, small, creamy, diminishing, minimally lacing, brown head. Roasty and chocolately, dark malty and caramel malty as well as fruity aroma, notes of dark chocolate, roast, dark caramel, morello. Taste is roasty and chocolately, dark malty, caramel malty, fruity and slightly yeasty spicy, notes of dark chocolate, couverture, dark caramel, morello, a touch of marmite, bramble, plum butter, a minimally ashy touch as well, some fruit acidic tartness; well hidden alcohol.
Viscous texture, smooth and soft, minimally cloying palate, fine, soft carbonation.
Intense, concentrated, balanced and dangerously drinkable - very good.

3/5/2025. Bottle courtesy of Boris, huge thanks! Russia rating #100. Pours black with minimal head. Aroma is dark chocolate, cherry liqueur, roasted malts, liquorice, woody, blackcurrant. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness, light fruity tartness. Medium to full body, smooth, soft carbonation. Good beer to bring up the 100.

Bottle. Dark brown color with almost no head. Aroma is cherries indeed, chocolate bar. Taste is cherries, quite tart, a bit oxidized but not too much. Oily mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Alright.
