Growler shared with Rich.
We both poured into pint glasses.
The appearance was a glossy looking red/brown color with a slim fingered white foamy head. There’s some light lacing roaming all around the glass.
The smell started off with a sweet cherry (it seemed slightly \"iced\", but good). There’s a decent kick of a grainy sort of appeal.
The taste was mainly sticky sweet cherry-ness. It came across really sweet in the aftertaste that bled into a sessionable refreshing quality.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. The carbonation was good for the style and for me.
Overall, I say this was a wonderful cherry ale for me, however if one is looking for the kick from the wheat look elsewhere, this one doesn’t have it.

This is a fairly sweet barley wine, with a boozy finish. I found that the sweetness worked in the context of having some dark malt complexity, but I also could have done with a little more hop as well. Overall, a snifter might have been a lot of work.

Thanks for the bottle Steve.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking dark brown color with a one finger white foamy head. Lacing is there in a nice speckled fashion.
The smell had a dark roasted coffee bean quality with a gentle underscore of dark chocolate.
The taste was moderately sweet and roasty as the nice chocolate comes back to balance among the roasty notes.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was there but moderate with a decent smoothness.
Overall, I say this was a worthy stout to have again.
