O'Fallon Cherry Chocolate Beer

This 5.7% ABV beer is from the O'Fallon Brewery of O'Fallon, Missouri. When I first saw the Cherry Chocolate part, I assumed this would be a stout. I got nervous when I saw it said Cherry Chocolate “Beer” and “malt beverage with natural flavors.” 

The beer pours dark copper, medium brown, burnt orange in color. There is about an inch of short-lived very light brown head. The aroma is cherry and chocolate, both reminiscent of a cheap liqueur of their respective flavors. The taste is just like the aromas, chocolate and cherry yes, a bit fakey, a bit like a cheap chocolate covered cherry candy. The mouth is thin and can’t hold up the flavors. Fairly gross unless you like this kind of thing, definitely not for everyone. It is like eating a Tootsie Roll and Cherry a Tootise Toll together while drinking a golden ale.
