Nov 17, 2005 Bottle. A very black and bubbly pour. Tatses dry and chocolaty. Not a bad flavor but I expected it to be slightly sweeter.

Nov 15, 2005 Pours to a transparent dark brown body with a thin beige head. The aroma is strongly elderberries and blackberries. Some barley. The flavor has coffee and chocolate in it. Light elderberry. Can hardly taste that. The palate is average. Fits well. Overall, this could be construed as a stout.

Oct 30, 2005 (Bottle at Fynske Øldage) Black. No head. The elderberries are evident in both aroma and flavor. A mild beer with a slightly odd flavor. I love the brewery’s general concept though.

Oct 21, 2005 Updated: Aug 12, 2007From the Scottish Highlands come this dark and earthy ale with an enticing name that rivals the mystery of the fog capped land it calls home. That is to say, I haven’t a clue what Ebulum means, but I do have some idea what it tastes like. After finishing the glass at a quicker-than-usual pace, I have to say I’m more impressed with Scottish industriousness and warrior code of conduct than with this beer. It pours a very dark black (I thought of cobalt at the time), and maintains a very simple smell of dark berries, presumably of the elder variety. Blackberry and black currants also feature heavily. Like most blackish beers, Ebulum builds on top of an over-bearing malts foundation and adds something of a unique twist. In this case, the elderberries are a welcome fruity topping to the thuggish chocolate and coffee flavors, but I would have preferred the berries to take something more a center stage role. Maybe a tolerably dark beer for those disinclined to the ways of malts.
