On tap at Hay Merchant

A: Pours a near pitch black color. Almost opaque with a little bit of ruby around the edges. A two finer beige head forms with good retention and lace.
S: Roasted malts, coffee, chocolate, baked bread. Followed by sweet molasses. Not much cherries in the nose. Though still very enjoyable.
T: Big roasted malts. Chocolate, coffee, molasses all intermingle. Baked bread, with some toffee like sweetness as well. I really don't get much cherries.
M/D: A moderate to full body. Good carbonation, and very smooth. Easy to drink, no problem with the pint I had. Very enjoyable.

I do very much enjoy this. I just wish there was some more cherry character. Some tart and tangy cherries would make this excellent. I did not get hardly any. Though still something I enjoyed as a good stout, and would get again.

From BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #63 (Apr 2012):

LOOK: Pitch black, amazing coffee-colored cream head with legs

SMELL: Chocolate cake batter, roastiness, faint cherries

TASTE: Silky smooth, rich, slightly tart, mild cherry, dark ripe fruits, soft caramel, light roasty char, sweet and tangy molasses, coin, chocolate, rye, biscuit, nuts, earth, tannic, dry finish

There’s a lot going on here, but what stands out is the use of blackstrap molasses, red tart and dark, sweet cherry purée, a California lager yeast strain and cocoa nibs from Patric Chocolate at the end of conditioning. The lager yeast strain is what makes it a Baltic Porter, but a Stout too? While it’s slightly confusing to have two styles on the label, who cares?! Complex, surprisingly balanced and damn tasty.

Serving type: bottle
