Tap. Pours deep clear Ruby black, small tan head, decent lacing. Aroma is espresso, mocha, hints of ashtray and dark sugars. Flavor is light plus sweet, fully bitter, acrid, burned malts and our coffee, tending to rubber, rich mocha and dark sugar notes persist. Medium body, creamy mouthfeel. Palate etching sharpness and bitterness on the finish. Shame.

Tap. Pours hazy Ruby hazel, small beige head, some lacing. Aroma is, yep, cinnamon and tasty cherry forward. Flavor is medium sweet, loads of tart cherries, almost the canned kind actually, cinnamon noticeable but not over the top, light bitterness almost seems a bit vegetal. Medium body, low carbonation.
