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.

Bottled on 10/10/2015. Divine. Incredibly smooth and easy to drink for 17+%. Tastes like a cherry cordial.

2014 bottle opened today.The aroma and flavor are rich malt, cherries/cherry juice and a little chocolate. The flavor reveals a strong sweetness and alcohol presence too. Mouthfeel is rich, boozy (even though well aged). and sweet. Like a nice cognac

Boozy. Cherry is still there along with the chocolate. Actually pretty tasty

bfln. Age paid off. Booze is definitely prominent but the aroma is alluring, and the cherry chocolate cake buried underneath the booze is tasty. Guessing it can age longer even

Bought 4 bottles 2015, drank 1 immediately , another in 18, 3rd bottle today. Really holds up. Slight sour nose. Huge syrupy mouthfeel, sour cherry taste, chocolate comes in at the end

Bought it when released (2015) and aged for 4-5 years, then for some unknown reason put in the refrigerator. Just randomly decided to drink last night and fortunately still the amazing cherry 🍒 chocolate 🍫 cake 💣 it strives to be.

There's too much going on, in the end it makes no sense.

Starts out like a smooth port but then finishes with a slightly sour cherry flavor. Chocolate still coming through slightly, but this one interesting with age. Not my favorite, but definitely not bad either. Fun RSD music pairing as well. Cheers! 🍻🎶

2015 edition. Bottle was properly labeled, however once wet, easily swiped off. Bump up from my original score +.25 due to well developed depth of flavors. Adj. entry from CraftSmash over the weekend.
