Near black color... No light passes. Beige head which settles to rim bubbles. There's a good initial ring of lace. Small spots thereafter.

The smell is semisweet cocoa aroma with a light sweet cherry background.

Strong alcohol warmth on the initial sip. The cocoa remains as an aftertaste. The beer is drier than the smell -- semisweet to dark chocolate. Thicker body than dry stouts but not syrupy. Good to high carbonation. Strong aftertaste of all of the aforementioned notes, particularly the alcohol.
