Draught pour at the brewery. On cask. It pours almost jet black with a frothy, light mocha-colored head and thin sheen of lacing. The smell features sweet, dark cherry, along with roasted malt, chocolate, fresh coffee, and vanilla. Its taste is decadent with dark chocolate, fresh, acidic, coffee, and caramel/vanilla/lactose. The black cherry is both tart and sweet and the mild sweetness really compliments the other flavors. There is modest earthy bitterness at the finish. It's very flavorful. The mouth feel is velvety smooth on cask and it's very easy to drink at 8% ABV. Overall, what an enjoyable variant of what is already an excellent Milk Stout. It reminds me of the Stouts which many breweries offer for Valentine's Day. It's very good!
