Strange beer, but all-in-all it ends up tasting like a barelywine blended with red wine. I'm down. 17% is there, but not objectionable

Very complex boozy treat. So smooth. I might not be totally into the cherries, but this is amazing. Thank you April for this delightful aged treat.

Bottled 10/25/15, still remember buying it from DTC. Turned out way better than I thought it would be, glad I held onto it for a while.

Love this beer! But it ain't cheap! Since it's no longer being made, it's only released intermittently. And at 17%, you don't need but one at a time.

10/20/2015 sweetness, definitely has the cherry and honeyish coat on the lips. Definitely aged well, unlike some others posting. Hopefully the others did just as well!

Bought this almost 7 years ago. Pretty dusty. If everyone who drank this and rated it poorly got to taste it now they’d change their minds.

Definitely a beer that gets better with age. 7 y.o. bottle and absolutely spectacular. Thick chocolate-cherry cake with a touch of booze.

Syrupy & sweet, this mammoth golden ale boasts mild chocolate & sour cherries, but they appear as flavor notes to the boozy golden core. Hoping for an early night β€” job interview in the a.m.
