Oui, arômes comme convenu, amertume, orange pelures

As with most beers like this, the first sip of something fruity is a bit harsh and OTT, but once your tastebuds have gotten used to it, you get the benefits. Cherry on the nose. Not a lot, but it’s there with a bit of milk chocolate. Flavours are great. There’s sour cherries, salty salt and rich dark chocolates. Full bodied and silky in the mouth, it’s quite decadent and would work fantastic paired with the right dessert.

Rich and sweet. Can taste the cherry and slight saltiness. Lovely stout

Weird. 7.4% and half the price of the 5.4, because it is cask. Not complaining! Not quite as good as the other one mind.

CCC 23 Tasting Panel Pouring a clear deep black, topped with a red to dark tan head, this medium bodied, medium alcohol stout soothes with rich chocolate, smacks you in the face with tart cherries, and satisfies with a gorgeous salty kiss – it does what it says on the tin! On the nose juicy ripe red and black cherries lure you in, followed by soft bitter chocolate notes. On the palate a gentle effervescence takes you through a rolling wave of recurring juicy cherry notes and dark chocolate with just the perfect hint of salt. Vibrant sweet and sour cherries, almost reaching fruit compote status, layered with indulgent chocolate mousse richness, cut with just the right amount of salinity comes alive with every sip in this 7.4% ABV bold stout. I love how the high cherry acidity plays cat and mouse with a generous daring chocolate bitterness – your basic afternoon Black Forest Gâteau has grown up: This is Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte 2.0 (Sorry-not-sorry fellow Germans)
