Pours near black with a small light tan head. This mostly smells like maraschino cherries. It tastes like, well, like cherry robitussin. I’ve had a few beers that tasted kind of cough syrupy, some red IPAs IIRC, but nothing that so nailed the taste like this one does. Cherry Robitussin. That’s not a “bad” flavor exactly, but it can’t be the goal, and cough syrup is not what I’m looking for in a beer
