Bottle at home. Aroma is roasted malt, rich cocoa, chocolate cake, mocha, touch of liquorice, and lots of creamy coffee in the aftertaste. Flavour is medium sweet with some good roasty bitterness in the finish. Body is full, smooth and a bit creamy. Pretty easy drinker considering the abv. Fine balance, excellent Imperial Stout!

Bottle from Healthy Spirits, San Francisco. Aroma is dark malt, lots of Bourbon, oak, vanilla, fudge, caramel, dark fruits, brandy, wine, chocolate, dried fruits, raisins. Flavour is smooth sweetness with a mild boozy touch. Body is full and rich. Oh yes... Complex and amazingly balanced, this is how you do proper barrel aging.

Bottle from Beer Republic. Aroma is pleasantly spicy with saison yeast, peppery notes, bready malt, soft fruits, citrus, touch of barnyard funk, apricot, orange, and clove, with a hint of hops in the finish. Flavour is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is above medium. Well-balanced Saison with lots of spicy notes but not to the point of excess, lovely.

Poured from a 750 ml, 2021 vintage bottle. Aroma is fairly cherry forward with hints of lemon. Light tannins and cinnamon notes. Light grain notes and hints of alcohol and oak. Pours a fairly clear, pinkish red with hints of orange hues on the edges. Small, thin, slightly pink head that recedes quickly and disappears. No lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat acidic with a medium light sweetness and hints of malt character. Light bitterness and hints of alcohol. Moderately strong cherry notes with lighter tannins and cinnamon notes. Hints of lemon, oak and a faint tropical notes. Faint earthy, herbal funk. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with low to medium low carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really solid, American kriek. Cable Car offers a nice base and works well with the cherries. The cherries have a nice cinnamon, cherry pie character without any medicinal notes
