Summary
Color is a dark brown, coffee-like color. Pours smooth and clean with a medium golden head that dissolves relatively quickly. First aromas are of spices, cocoa, and hints of caramel. The flavor of the beer is filled with sweet caramel, floral, and a hint of the signature cherry flavor boasted in the profile. Medium carbonation, but is very light on the tongue and leaves a spicy taste in your mouth.
I love a good beer full of good malty flavors, and this beer has lots of good caramel malt, and cocoa flavors. Although I could catch small hints of the cherry flavor, I was hoping to catch more of it on my palate. Still, this beer had a great balance of other flavors that made it extremely enjoyable. As a side note, with the high alcohol content, it definitely gets stronger toward the end. For that reason, I stuck to one glass with dinner J
