34C. Experimental Beer

Fruit and spice (29B)

Cherry is a fruit (obviously) and chocolate is considered a spice/herb/vegetable.

Is "chocolate" considered a spice under the guidelines?

Slot it in under what it's perceived to be, not what it looks like on paper. If cherry is the most prevalent flavor, fruit beer.
