*From notes*

The beer has a very color and is extremely appealing. The color is a very dark black color with a purplish hue; something very similar to a black cherry.

The smell and taste are pretty good and very tantalizing. The main notes that come out are the bitter chocolate notes, toasted malt notes, and a slight bit of tart from the cherries.. The tart is light but it's strong enough to make itself known among the other notes and works will with the bitter chocolate. There is also a slight hop bitterness to the beer itself but not enough to change anything.

The feel is smooth with some light carbonation and feels pretty nice.

Overall, a good beer that would go great with dessert. Go for it.
