From the brewer

This special release is brewed just for the holidays. For a new approach to a classic favorite, we added cherries to our traditional Chocolate Bock for a sweet, slightly tart note. Aged on a bed of dark cocoa nibs, the malty, chocolaty, and dark fruit flavors create a rich, complex beer perfect for winter.

Even worse this time. But maybe it was just too old.

I don't know if it was just that much worse from the bottle, but it was.

Somehow, despite tasting like the cheapest, fakest choclate cherry cordial you can imagine, this worked perversely well. I think it's because each subsequent flavor (fake cherry -> cheap chocolate -> malty beer) came in just in time to defuse the one that came before it. Better with food than without, though.
