Heather Ales Ebulum

Beer night with Dedollewaitor. Flat palet, kind of minty and spicy, but i did like in a way.

pours a rich black color with a almost non-existent tan head. aroma is stouty with notes of chocolate and bitter coffee. flavor is mostly chocolate/coffee but has a tart berry hint in there. medium bodied. the dark malts mostly cover up the elderberries but i like it.

Black with a bubbly white head & good lacings. Aroma is Spicy of mint/elderberries. Soft light thin body. Roasted malts but the elderberrie touch is dominating throughout. Slight roast bitter end. Ok - but im not in love!

Bottle sampled. Pours Dark with a small tan head. Aroma of caramel, fruit, roast, and spices. The flavor is caramel, fruit, roast, and finishes with a mild spicey bitterness.

Bottle, August 07. Deep, black color with shinny ruby hues and a small beige head. Strong, fruity, berries aroma. Strange, empty flavor with some fruit, cinnamon traces and a rather bitter and short end. So so. Medium to light mouthfeel, a bit watery and empty. A dull, empty, vaguely herbal dark ale.

Bottle. Sour berry and fresh sawn wood aroma. Dark brown color with small head. Sour barley malt flavor with moderate bitterness like Angostura. An experience - a little disappointed that the elderberries didn’t come out more in the flavor.

Appearance: very dark brown color. Not foam. Aroma: toasty malty, candy, oat, vintage wine; sweet fruitiness of blackberries, plums, ripe strawberries, figs and ripe apricots. Spicy; with aniseed, clove and vanilla touches. Liquory and floral. Flavor: Intensive toasty of malts, stewed oat, grain coffee and candy. Dry-fruity of grapefruits; sweet-fruity of berries and figs; dark olives. Liquory; similar to coffee’s and cacao’s liquors. Dryness of medicinal herbs; camomile and rue. Spicy reminiscences, such as, of eucalyptus, palto, clove, vanilla, aniseed, nutmeg and ginger. Dry finish, for the toasty, resinous-hops and “exotics berries” (elderberries?). Persistent dryness, with metallic note. Palate: medium to full body; silky and oily texture. Low carbonation. Exotic and spicy beer, good body, nice dryness, balanced. Lack of foam. Advisable. (sorry for my english)

aroma is fruity, lots of berries, and ripe fruit. flavour is much the same, but its a touch sour, and the sweetness is a tad bit cloying. Fnish is sweet. quite an interesting brew.
