Aroma: “Black currant and dark cherry. Very inviting. Cherry pie richness with a sweet overtone from the malty base beer.”

Flavor: “Fresh cherry juice with some tartness that could be from the fruit itself. Fruity complexity from the cherry and elderberry is well complemented by the malty backbone of the base beer. Hints of raspberry and blackberry and a touch of lemon to make things pop a bit. Finishes relatively dry given the sweet body throughout with some tannins to make you want another sip.”

Overall: “Very juicy with a nice blend of berry flavors and very drinkable. If I wasn’t told I was drinking a beer, I could assume this was just the fresh cherry juice. This is a great dessert beer to pair with lemon chiffon or just have on its own. The richness fades quickly, thus avoiding being too rich.”
