Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a dark murky mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head. The aroma offers up molasses, German chocolate cake, cherries and then malty dark chocolate fudge. The taste delivers stewed cherries, chocolate fudge and molasses. The cherries become slightly tart from time to time too. It picks up boozy heat midway and into the after taste helping to counter the sweetness. The adjunct treatment is a little too forward covering the beer flavors. Dialing the treatment will improve the experience.
