Light cherry and some roast. Cherry isn't too large of an influence at least but the base stout just isn't that interesting. Black pour with ok bead. Light tart finish. Tap at Musa.

Keg at Canil, Lisboa, 24/03/22. Almost clear golden amber with a lasting just off white head. Nose is liquid fruit cake, booze, dates, prunes, caramel. Taste comprises fruit cake, caramel, sweet malts, dates, sugars. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Solid sipper ... perhaps lacking complexity for the ABV but decent none the less.
