Aug 30, 2009 Absolutely gorgeous pour. Pitch black with a thick tan head that leaves heavy lacing. Deep malty aroma with malt, chocolate, and a hint of berries. Thick, creamy mouthfeel, much like a stout. Flavors of roasted malt, chocolate, and hints of coffee and berries. Very well balanced and easy to drink.

Aug 18, 2009 Not bad, not great. I don’t notice anything special about this until it got a bit warmer. I expected something from the Elderberry and when too cold there wasn’t anything. Pretty similar to the Shiner bohemian black lager without coming all the way from Scotland.

Aug 10, 2009 Pours black with a respectable head that does not last. Earthy aroma of roasted malt. Moderate carbonation with a soild full-bodied mouth feel. Taste is very stout-like; coffee, nuts, roasted malt, plus a fruitiness with touches of plum and cherry. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Great beer.

Aug 4, 2009 Bottle pours black with a thin beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and a bit of fruit. Flavor is light roast, and coffee, definite fruity-berry flavor (elderberry?) and a lightly bitter finish.

Jul 29, 2009 Ebulum is a (barely) black ale with a red-brown hue. It has a splotchy, dense, light brown head that has great retention and leaves thick lacing on the glass. It has a very strong roasted aroma with notes of coffee and chocolate. It’s medium bodied and smooth with a light, clean finish that’s a bit acidic. It tastes quite roasty and there’s a sharp, green bitterness that plays off that well. It’s mostly a coffee flavor, with notes of dark fruit and a dry red wine flavor at the finish. It’s unique and tasty.
