The stout sound primo. I know what you mean about the aroma when you add a few spices and chocolate in. Best smell there is...just don't ask my wife. The cherries are an interesting addition. I tried make a cherry cream ale with the extract and yeah, it tasted bad. Dunno what I did but, the fruit flavored beers I've had made with real fruit are much better, I think. You'll have to let me know how the beer turns out or, how it is turning out...it's tough to not taste it as it ages.
Keep me posted,
Joe

Thanks, I will definitely have to keep you guys posted. It has only been in primary since Friday and I plan to bottle it up after 14 days. I apparently didn't need a blow off for this stout, but to be safe, last night when I opened it it was fermenting like crazy, but since it didn't violently ferment like the RIS than I did a blow off for nothing. I don't however believe that it hurts anything, as a lot of folks actually talk about fermenting without a lid.
