Cask Days 2012.
Jet black, small mocha head. Pretty much the same as the regualr hellwoods with the obvious addition of sour cherries. Honestly i didn;t see much of a differece. a slight sweetness, and acidity, but really nothing mind blowing. but he base beer is so damn good, i didnt care.

(Cask @ Volo?, from old notes) Black pour with a small tan bubbly cask head, a bit of lace. Aroma is as one would expect, a big hit of sour cherry, nice dark chocolate, some light to moderate roast. Flavour also has a bunch nice sourish fruity cherry character, quite a bit of dark chocolate, a little coffee and moderate roast/dark malt imperial stout character. Fruit persists all the way through to the fairly dry finish, lending some tartness. Medium bodied but a bit oily, nice cask feel, good balance of acidity, sweetness and roast, alcohol fairly restrained. Pretty much what you’d expect, a good base imperial stout with a lot of sour cherry character added to it, but very nicely balanced sipper of a package. Chocolate and cherries a super combination.
