Cask at Big Rock Urban, Vancouver; 12 oz
Black color, beige compact head. Very nice aroma of chocolate and cherries, like Mon Chery (cherry in chocolate) or Schwarzwald cake (Black Forest). The light fruit acidity doesn’t blend well with the mild roasty chocolate flavor, and the vanilla extract is never a good idea in beer; soft mouthfeel; the final is soft too, with a mix of roasted malts and sour fruits. Too artificial.
The main feeling I get is "supermarket cake", eventually.
