Cloudy, a little dark
Cherry aroma subtle
Cherry flavors a little too strong
A little too sweet, though I'm not familiar with the beer it is a clone of; don't really taste the base beer

Dark ruby color, head retention well with lace.  
Sweet cherry aroma, cherry and slight spice (not phenol) balance.
Carbonation well and compliments style and beer
Cherry tast is almost dark not manichiano
A little sweet for some tasts, but overall fantastic.
