UPDATED: JAN 11, 2022 Can. Pours a dark brown with a foamy, silky, long-lasting tan foam head. Aroma is chocolate, roast, earth, and a slight hint of cherries. Flavor is sweet chocolate and roast, with a touch of cherries in the finish.

UPDATED: DEC 23, 2021 16 oz. can from Total Wine. Nitro version. Pours a super dark cherry cola color with ruby highlights and a small, fine beige head with excellent retention. Decent lacing. Good looking nitro action too. Dark chocolate cake aroma. Dry chocolate flavor with a light roast and a light boozy finish. I'm not picking up the cherry flavor, and that's okay. Creamy mouthfeel. Medium body. Not sweet or bitter. Overall more subtle than expected. The 7.7% ABV is well hidden. Well made.

UPDATED: DEC 16, 2021 Black color pour with a thick frothy tan head. Cocoa aroma with chocolate and cherry flavor notes. Creamy mouth feel. Rich.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2018 12floz bottle, BBD: 07.19.2019, $1.75 unit cost, pint glass. This beer is an opaque, very dark brown. Head fades, but the hearty dark roasted aroma remains. Semi-sweet taste strikes a good balance between dry roast and sweet malt flavors. Cherry addition is not evident, but if these were sweetened, then there is bit of sweetness from them. Medium-full bodied and drinks pleasantly.
