A: The beer is nearly black when viewed from afar. It poured with a patch of beige bubbles on the surface end a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Srong aromas of cherry cola are present in the nose.
T: The taste follows the smell, but isn't nearly as strong and more flavors of cherries than cola.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The smell of this beer is just like a cherry cola. It drinks more like a soda than a beer, except that it doesn't have the sweetness.
Serving type: can

330ml Can from Brewdog.com (£2.30):
This one was definitely a beer that could be described as interesting, it was an unusual tasting offering that came through with a lot of cherries, sugars & some vanilla nearer the end but also had a light bitterness with the taste & was slightly sour & tarty too. The nose was a little one-sided with the cherries dominating but the taste was slightly more balanced & enjoyable but it's still probably not a beer that I'd have more than the once given the style.

Pours a very dark reddish brown with very little head.
Smells like a slightly tangy Cherry Coke, with a hint of Gammeldansk.
Taste is lighty tart Cherry Coke, with a hint og youghurt on the finish. Not as bonkers as I had hoped...
Mouthfeel is mediunm, well carbonated.
Overall, a nice, mild sour that I thought would be more intense than it was.
