A roasty chocolate riptide tailormade for dark beer fans, Walking Man Brewing’s Cherry Stout captures the richness of black forest cake into a sophisticated craft treat.

Infusing Bing cherries into the brewery’s highly-rated, draft-only sensation Walking Stick Stout, this beer transforms the original’s bittersweet cocoa notes into a five-star dessert course. This fruit invites a sweet yet subtle tartness into the smooth, fudge-like notes from the oats and Chocolate Malt’s coffee roastiness. The cherry juice comes even more alive as the beer warms, boosting the already devilish 7.2% ABV drinkability.

Right out of the glass, penetrating aromas of brandied-cherry cordials take hold and never let go. Layers of dark chocolate bonbons, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and tart cherry glaze treat your tongue like a personal dessert cart.

Running away with RateBeer’s “Best Brewpub in Washington” award for five consecutive years, Walking Man Brewing is one of the state’s most beloved indie craft breweries. Fans travel across the region to their taproom tucked away in the Columbia River Gorge for their intensely flavorful brews. And with one sip of their Cherry Stout, you’ll instantly know why.
