Aug 27, 2007 Bottle. Deep, nearly opaque, mahogany pour that produces a healthy brown head that slowly subsides leaving a spotty lace. I’m not sure what elderberries smell like, but that must be the origin of the strong fruit aroma. Additionally, I detect some treacle, and some pronounced herbal notes. Very interesting aroma overall, unlike anything else I’ve experienced. A quite smooth medium body is paired with low carbonation and a lasting chewiness. Neutral balance with a softly dry finish. I didn’t think I would care much for this, but it surprised me. Unusual, yet drinkable, and a pleasant departure from the usual fare.

Aug 23, 2007 Appearance: Another cola-brown beer with a brown foamy head.
Smell: Soft berry fruitiness and hints of roasted malt.
Taste: Nicely integrated dark berry taste with malt and charred coffee in the background. Some soft tannins contribute to an astringent finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-full and creamy.
Drinkability: Very drinkable; while the berry flavour is noticeable, it’s not overpowering and the base beer is quite well done.

Aug 21, 2007 Bottle. Very attractive pour: almost black with a big, creamy khaki head. Nose of malt, pine, mine, grass and a hint of clovelike spice. Odd flavor profile: fairly malty with a hint of dried fruit and some steamed vegetables (in a good way). Fairly rich on the palate with good carbonation. Finishes herbal and dry. Unique.

Aug 20, 2007 Another unique beer from a special brewery. This one is malty, vinous in many ways. Not my favorite Heather Ale but worth drinking anyway.

Aug 18, 2007 Dark brown, almost reminds me of a porter or stout on the pour, little foam ...toffee + molasses on the nose...has a coffee mocha thing going on....well balanced flavor with malts added to just the right sips...I smell a sort of fruit on the sniff, but I’m not real familiar with elderberries, so I guess thats whats going on in my nostrils...this is available to me only during x-mas time in the gift pack at my local joint

Aug 12, 2007 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.
