A hearty malt base is complemented by sweet cherry juice and cocoa nibs added during fermentation in this decadent take on a traditional porter. Notes of rich chocolate and a hint of cherry sweetness make this full-bodied porter the perfect treat to share now or the cellar until next Valentine’s Day.

Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 6 | Overall: 6
Pours a deep brownish black body. The head starts out thick and fizzy, but recedes quickly and leaves some spotted lace. Aromas were of chocolate malts, yeasts, cocoa powder all were on the faint side. Mouthfeel is on the thick side, abv is hidden fairly well. Flavor is about the same as the aromas, no cherries coming through, a bit disappointing.

Comes out of the growler a dark, barely translucent cola brown with a fairly thick, though not persistent, tan head. Smoky aroma has a decided overtone of cherry, a bit sweet but not at all cloying. Flavor starts with a core of roast malt and adds notes of cherry and caramel plus a hint of horehound. Texture is smooth and firm, a little firmer than most porters I have sampled, with a decent amount of fizz. Go for(est) it!
