Aged with cherries 🍒 and it shows. Nose of Luden's cough drop. Cherry pie flavors. Not sweet

Black cherry and cola nose. Cherry lozenge comes to mind, and that would be a mistake, as this exhibits a firmness and depth beyond initial preconception. Smoky, black cherry with a Fernet Branca touch. Rosemary, licorice, and bitters.

Really wild beer. Smells exactly like Boylan's Black Cherry Soda

Fruit beer (cherry) with a sour finish rather than sweet

I love krieks, yet I loathe this concoction. Cloying. Sickly sweet. Cough syrup. 2 sips max "for fun" or instead of Cherry Coke.

A dark chocolate praline filled with cherry liquor. Bing cherries and caramel. A touch of bitterness in the finish, perhaps from alcohol. Lightly sweet, medium acidity for a sour. Candy like yet not too artificial. Not as authentic as Rodenbach, but has some soul to it and succeeds as a balanced fruity treat.
