jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Oct 15, 2007 12 oz bottle. Had this one waaaaay back and I need to try it again in order to give it a fair rating. for now i will just assume 3.0 joohefner (380), Isla Vista, California, USA Oct 7, 2007 dark purple with little to none head. lemon, berry, malt aroma. thin, velvety body. light toasted malt flavor with a berry tartness. the fruit is clear and pronounced but not dominating. crazyvin (1246), New York, USA Oct 6, 2007 poured a nice black hue with a tan head, good lacing. aroma was very malty some strong notes of nuts, bread and even a peat notes. Flavor was mildly sweet, somewhat fruity. Seemed thin though. eleiser (8), USA does not count Oct 2, 2007 Updated: Oct 13, 2007A unique and delicious beer. Not too strong, and not too heavy. A very dark color, and not too crisp (that might have been due to its handling). The elderberry’s were not overpowering. It wasn’t a seasonal, but i would say it would be a good winter beer. I will definitely try it again. Quite delicious. cathcacr (586), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 30, 2007 An altogether pleasant and enjoyable session experience for this user. Couldn’t really make out the elderberries but could make out the very Scottish sweetness. Reminded me of Celebrator. rdelljh (117), Pennsylvania, USA Sep 30, 2007 mild carbonation, with delicious notes of elderberrry, but no lambic sweetness here.
definitely has a rich roasted flavor. TheBeerOrg (1563), Kentucky, USA Sep 29, 2007 Pours near black with reddish hues and a fully receding light tan head. Aroma of blackberries, raisins, vinous, toasted malts, wispy caramel. Taste is lightly sweet, dark chocolate, plum, peppery, with a lightness in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with wispy carbonation. Very interesting and enjoyable beer. A nice mix of fruitiness and darker malts. FatPhil (3449), Espoo, Finland Sep 27, 2007 500ml bottle
Black, thin beige head. Berry-sweet aroma, not overpowering. Very rich burnt taste, some espresso. again not overpowering. Very balanced, covers the alcohol completely.
