      Appearance (3)
      Deep, bright red. Big thick dense head.
      Aroma (4)
      Cherries, mildly tart. Richly fruity with a noticeable malt background.
      Mouthfeel (10)
      Medium body, smooth. Malty, rich. Darkly fruity. Big cherry flavor. Not sweet at all, with just a touch of tartness. Nicely warming at the end. Terrific balance all the way around.
      Overall Impression (3)
      The malt really carries the fruit here. If I have to drink a grocery beer, it will be this one. "15% foeder beer + 85% double brown beer with cherries"
