Dark, dark brown with a hint of deep cream head. No retention at all and no lace. None. Could not pick out the dominant flavor until I read the description online. Cherrywood? Who knew? Definitely an interesting aroma, with a strong woody smell. Lots of smoke and a bit of oil in the nose. Smoke covers up any hint of alcohol. Slightly thin up front. Cherrywood really takes over midway through and dominates. Bright cherry tart flavor, lots of smoked wood, a bit of ash in the finish. Dry and tart in the finish as well. Typical feel for the style. Too light for my taste, though. Very interesting interpretation and well worth trying if you like smoked porter.
