Pours a solid dark brown bordering on black with a minimal tan head that actually leaves a bit of lace in its wake. Smells of chocolate and an almost medicinal cheery aroma for the most part. A bit of caramel and butter are faint in the background, but this one is mostly chocolate and ludens cough drops. Taste is lots of caramel, light chocolate, butter and a faint tart cherry taste. Medium body, light level of carbonation, earthy mineraly mouthfeel. I really wanted to rave about this one, but I just couldn’t. The cherry flavor is barely there and what I do find is tart almost medicinal. Meh.

on tap-pours a rich light brown head and dark brown color. Aroma is nice, mild cherry, dark malt. Taste is dark malt-coffee/roasty, hint of cherry with some twang. OK carbonation. 3.0 growler 2 weeks later-cherry comes through on the nose better, and tart cherry on the taste. Nice, mellow. 3.3
