Cherry stout recipe feedback

[Yoop]

The target og was 1.072 to 1.079, once I had it in the fermenter but before I added the starter I put a sanitized hydrometer in to see if it was in that range. It was on the high end of that range, possibly just over, but I don't know what it was exactly since I was just testing it in the bucket. When I bottled I used 5 oz of priming sugar.

Today (3/6/12) was the first day that I opened a bottle. The first aromas that I could smell were the chocolate and then the bourbon. Upon tasting it was a little different than the smell. The first thing that I tasted was the chocolate, then a hint of cherry, and then a hint of the bourbon, and the aftertaste almost leaves you with a hint of coffee. With the taste safari and how smooth it's turning out I'm very happy with this brew so far!

This looks really tasty! I was seriously debating about the same recipe except with blueberries. However, my wife who is 7 months pregnant is requesting a raspberry wheat that will be ready after our son is born. So the one after that I am going to give this one a go!!! Nice job!
