A lightly hopped dark red, fruity beer. Powerful sweet cherry taste cutting through, some call it a luscious liquid cherry Bakewell!

Lively, clear red beer with a decent white head. Cherry aroma. Flavour has some cherry as you'd expect, some hops and malt. Quite dry as it turns out with a distinct bitterness in the finish. Not a lot else going on. It's fine, could maybe have leant into the cherry a little more. Fairly drinkable but it'd have stood out with a bit more cherry.

Hand-pulled half-pint at The Plough, Shifnal on 7th November 2021. Dark red cherry body, smooth creamy head that was beige in colour. Nice cherry aroma and flavour, not too overpowering, nice!

Cask at Hogshead, Wolverhampton Pours “black cherry” red with a small cream head and good lacing. Has a fruity aroma, but the sharpness of cranberries rather than the expected cherries. The cherries come through it the mouth though, along with plums and a base of vanilla. Finish is cherries again, but fading to bitterness. A nice beer, but maybe suffers from my rating it straight after Cappuccino Stout !

Half-pint, cask at Royal Blenheim. Shared with Finn. Good looking with a stable beige head that laced fine. Clear dark body with a rustic shade. Promising smell of dark cherry skins, mid-sweet. Taste of cherry joined by creamy malts, vanilla sweet. Balanced bittersweet finish. Good drinking. (Oxford 27.10.2019).

Delt med Rune. Ultramørkerødbrun. Lavt tett skum. Tynn teppelacing. God kirsebæraroma. Smaken kirsebærsteiner. Behagelig. Litt syrlig bitterhet i avslutninga.

Draft at the Royal Blenheim. Dark black, flat pour. Aroma comes in like cough syrup and hard candy. More of the fake cherry flavors in the taste, way too sweet. Did not finish.
