Anything can be well put together, if it isn't dropped, spilled or broken during the process of it being put together. That doesn't however mean that it should have been put together in the first place.
And this shouldn't have. At all.
The pour looks good enough (very dark) and the head remains nicely laced, but the nose hints of something not being right.
It's the taste. Very sweet in an artificial, gross way, mostly tasting of cherry, something artificial (the almond extract?) and malt. Couldn't finish more than half. Drain pour.
