Poured up on tap at the brewpub where it exhibits dark mahogany colored body that supports a nice tan head of foam. The aroma offers up muted malt infused cherries and chocolate. The taste delivers thin dark roasty malts, thin chocolate and then a smooth malty sweet ripe cherry like note. Toward the finish it picks up a mild level of nuttiness. Pretty nice but could have the cherry dialed back to allow more of the other notes to shine through.

Medium brown, with a thin head. On the nose, lots of chocolate and a little bit of cherry. Already the cherry has changed how I perceive the malts. Very soft, chocolately, milk chocolate, nice and rich. The cherry is actually quite subtle, like you have to look for it subtle.
