Aroma has mild smokiness, a touch of cherry, and gentle cocoa. Flavour has lightly sweet cherries, gentle smokiness, toasted malt, and a hint of cocoa. Nice malt base that serves up the cherry and smoke nicely. Very good.

Dark brown body, with a small head.
Aroma of cocoa, dark chocolate, spices, vanilla, coconut. Tastes similar.
Quite creamy mouthfeel, with a low carbonation. Finishes medium sweet, moderate roasty, spicy.
Really well balanced, more on the sweet side, but never overwhelming, with enough roasty notes. Really quaffable for the ABV.

Sampled at Billies day 1. Opaque pitch black color, small brown lacing. Aroma and flavor are malts, roast, roasty bitter. Don't really get much more than this with a cherry vinous note. Hmm not bad.
