Brewed with NW Nugget hops, roasted cocoa beans and dark sweet cherries.
A (3/3): Deep black in color like used motor oil with the exception of the frothy, dark tan head and only nominal lacing.
S (9/12): This beer has a mild nuttiness that rides along with the light coffee aroma and a hint of maraschino cherry. The roasted malts bring out a slightly bready, grainy aroma that compliment the cocoa beans.
T (16/20): The first sip gives you a nice warm welcome of sweet chocolate and a pleasant light coffee flavor. Cherry comes in on the back of the palate with a chocolate character that slightly resembles bakers chocolate.
M (4/5): Medium bodied, but much lighter than I expected from the viscous pour. A silky smooth beer with little to no malt bitterness. A creamy mouthfeel with a very light carbonation and smooth finish.
O (7/10): If you like chocolate stouts this is a great beer to try. The cherry adds a little extra sweetness that is very enjoyable. More of a dessert beer than a daily drinker but this definitely would be a nice treat after dinner.
Total:(39/50)
