Discussion
So far so good.

Brewed this on 11/11/07. Left in primary for 2 weeks and moved it to secondary adding cherry juice on 11/25/07. Sugars in the cherries got fermentation going again as a decent secondary krausen has risen. Transfering gravity was 1.019 so seems to be moving along well. Had a good chocolate taste, hopefully enough cherry juice to take. Will update when I rack to bottle.
Not bad for a first attempt

Bottled on 1/12/08. Had a good chocolate smell and a little too strong on the cherry taste. Slight chocolate aftertaste as well. Will see how it turns out but will be tweaking and retrying the recipe.

Beer is definetly drinkable. Cherry taste is too strong for my liking and the chocolate did not come out enough. Beer is also too dark. Will be making a new recipe and will lower the cherries to 8#, cut back on some of the grains and add more extract for higher gravity.
