Alright... I got this in some kind of trading scenario. Don't remember how. But after a very extensive 4-minute google I determined this as its own thing, not already available on the BA.

Per the can: "A blend of bourbon barrel-aged stouts, aged on tart cherries, with pure liquid cacao added." It's marked at a hefty 11.7% ABV

I also don't really know how liquid cacao is pure, but then again I wouldn't feel confident in describing what cacao actually is.

The pour is dense and very dark with very wispy foam that looks white-sh. Erm.

Smells very chocolate-forward. Like brownie mix, almost. Not all that much by way of beeriness, but also nice, and not unpleasant whatsoever.

Tastes chocolate-forward. Up front, like a light whiff of Betty Crocker brownies. In the middle, stouty, kinda. There's some beer burn and some barley roughness, but mostly it's just cocoa. Finish is, again, like brownies. The cherries are just barely present (maybe they mellowed out some barley roughness) on the back end, on a pleasantly sharp finish.

It's quite good.
