440ml can from Taps Beer Bar, Changkat, Kuala Lumpur. Poured almost black in colour with a very short-lived, frothy off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt and cherries. The flavour is moderate liqourice bitter, sour fruit, with a smooth, rich, roasty, juicy tart cherry, light chocolate, liqourice bitter palate. Full bodied with soft carbonation. I’d hoped for a beer with subtle cherry notes, but this was full-on , right in your face cherry and it was impossible to smell or taste anything else. Great if you love cherries, not so great if you don’t!
