On draught at Bodega. This beer pours a murky mud-puddle brown color with a minimal off-white head that disappears quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of dark malts and semi-sweet cherry. Rich and smooth body with a woody character and flavors of dark fruits (cherry being dominant of course), malt and a touch of vanilla. The finish is mildly tart with an earthy cherry aftertaste. Very good beer all around.
