The aroma is faint but of thick chocalate and malt. I wish it was more powerful. athe color is deep black with a good brown head. First sip is huge chocolate. Almost burnt. The sweetness of the malt is on the edge but really the bitterness is very present. There is no sweetness of the cherries. Its more of that dry bitterness of a cherry. I really can't taste the vanilla at all. The flavor lingers a while. I really wish it was sweeter. Good as a strong stout. Disappointing as a cherry stout.

A very fizzy red head greets you. The color is a ruddy brown. The aroma is faint but of citrus. Wow, it's tart. The carbonation hits the tongue first. It's very champagne-like. Then some sweetness of the fruit. Then it's very tart. Like raspberry lemonade mixed with a pale ale. It's kind of like a dessert brew. It's a little too much for me.
