Plucked from the rolling hillsides near Welch, Minnesota, copious amounts of Carmine Jewel cherries give this warming winter ale it's luscious character. Aromatic layers include cherry pie, honey, a bit of dark chocolate, and a whiff of spice. The flavor has all of those aromas, along with a pleasant alcoholic warmth to let you know this sipper is a strong one.

Clear dark ruby red body with active carbonation showing tiny bubbles. A short head forms with a vigorous pour, but it disappears very quickly leaving a thin ring around the edge and thin surface islands forming, swirling, and disappearing, and then re-forming from the rising bubbles. Obviously, no lacing.
Cherries are the dominant scent in the moderately strong aroma, backed faintly by dark fruits and bready malts.
The taste has the preserved flavor of maraschino cherries (just not sweet), however, it is just a bit Luden's-like, and slightly tart. There is not a lot of complexity to the flavor; cherries, with the tartness keeping this beer from becoming sweet. The finish is a middling dryness due to a very slight astringency, presumably from the tart cherries. No alcohol evident in the taste or the feel.
The feel is thin.
Overall, a quite mediocre winter ale. It is not by any means unpleasant, but it is also not worth the $12/crowler, either.
