Cherry toasted and charred?

[NeckStiller]

Hey everyone,

Been waaayyy to long, but finally got the equipment up and running again.

I looked for info on this topic and found little bits here and there. My question is has anyone used Buccaneer Bob's recipe and finished the final product using the essence along with some toasted and charred cherry?

I've got approximately 2 gallons airing and I want to finish it right, without regrets. Perhaps I should color with the essence and experiment in separate jars.

I thought the cherry would add a different element but not sure how well it ages.

Any help is appreciated!
