Beck's Dark. Bremen, Germany.
Looks like Guinness. Tastes like Guinness.
With one exception - it's drinkable. Holy cow this is delicious. Guinness tastes like taking a swig of an ashtray. This has the nice burnt hops taste with a sweet tinge without the overbearing bitterness. Yummers.
Yep, that's not a black bottle, that's the colour of the brew.

How can you make beer from cherries? Do you mean a liquer?
I'm not that fond of beer. I like whatever has the least irritating sudsy taste.

Heineken is good too, except it is a bit too light for my tastes and tastes terrible when it gets too warm.

How do you make a beer from cherries? I thought you needed grain.

It's a lambic fruit beer.
Lambic beers use wild yeast for fermentation, making them taste 'sharp' or tarty (chemically, they're more acidic than other beers).
Lambic fruit beers are fermented with grain (so they are, technically 'beers'), but, later on, fruit is added in to further the fermentation.
Lambic beers taste almost like wine...I don't really care for it. Almost all lambic is brewed in Belgium, although I think most liquor stores in the States should have at least one lambic.
The more you know!

It's not just normal lambic, they start off from it and do something extra (don't ask me what), and the taste is quite beery in the end.
