22 oz. Bomber

Poured into a chalice a very nice black color, very nice carbonation, with a very nice one-finger thick/creamy one-finger tan head, which leaves some very nice thick small islands and sticky lacing behind. The nose is malty, with some very nice chocolate/toffee notes, with some slight cherry tartness, some vanilla notes. The taste is very nice malty, chocolate/toffee, cherry's, vanilla. Full Body, ABV hidden very well. Overall, this is a very nice brew, the best I've had so far from ET. Highly Recommended!

Bottle from Acton Wine
Inky black color with a small frothy tan head that persists. Rich brown sugary chocolate and roast with plenty of tart fruit to go around. Very interesting mingling of flavors, very well done.

Short Review. I liked this beer, it's sweet, but it never crosses the line of being cloying and I think the cherry adds some nice complexity, I think I like it as much as the original. It's good and it does a nice job at living up to it's name.

Deep black with tinges of amber brown. Sweet malty aroma, very pleasant. Some toasty notes. Thick sweet body, clean finish. Tasty brew! Great winter warmer and or dessert beer

On tap at Pub W.

Black down low and tan up top and let's see what else we got. Smell is subtle with chocolate and dark fruits. Getting some dark chocolate followed by grain and finishing with faint cherry and burnt sugar on the tongue. Lighter in body, thin, and somewhat boozy.

So many times it's better to just leave well enough alone, but never ending experimentation and a panoply of options is what we demand. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So be it.

4.11/5: The cherry presence seems weak at first, until I realized that it makes this thick monster seem relatively light and dangerous
