May 29, 2005 Wow - I don’t know what Elderberries smell like, but this beer was chocolate first and then dark fruits second. It first materializes as a rich, creamy stout wannabee, but of course the conflict that is raging between berries and roasty chocolate maltiness boils forth and dispels any notion that it is walking in a stout’s footsteps. It’s a little less creamy than I would like considering its initial appearance, but still, thin mouthfeel aside, offers enough variety of flavour to hold its appeal. Perhaps a touch astringent in the long finish, with a slightly sour tinge which isn’t entirely fitting or welcomed. This bottle was marked as being Best Before august of 2004, yet ironically it is better than the one I had a while back that was within its Best Before parameters - perhaps it benefits from some overaging? Solidly enjoyable.

May 29, 2005 Bottled. Nice blackcurrant aroma, not very special but nice. But the looks! Wow! Pours very thick, black color, brown creamy head, very nice lace. Flavor also very nice, light sweet, blackcurrant, lots of chocolat, getting more and more bitter in the finish with a nice fruitiness in the back. Thick and smooth feeling.

Aroma of chocolate with roasted notes.

The flavour is a bit watery with dominated by chocolate and roasted notes and notes of berries.

May 21, 2005 Updated: Mar 30, 2007Very disappointing. Black, no head. Flavor of blood and metal. No fruit flavor or aroma at all, but also no bitterness. Like a light schwartz beer.

May 18, 2005 Couleur presque noire affichant des reflets rougeâtres à la limite du spectre. Faible mousse brume pâle n’adhérant pas à la paroi du verre. Aucun dégagement gazeux n’est apparent lors du service. Arômes de grains rôtis, de café, de pain grillé et de fruits plutôt noirs. Beau profil de malt grillé en bouche accompagné d’une sensation vineuse et fruitée (sureau, prunes noires, rouges). Un aspect rôti arrive en finale et continu d’exister pour un long moment après chacune des gorgées. Corps d’épaisseur semi mince à moyenne, carbonatation piquante et peut-être un peu trop présente.

May 15, 2005 Pours a very dark brown with only a little head and lacing. Aroma is of roasted malt and a hint of berry. Flavor is very roasty followed by a good hop bitterness and a vague hint of berry. Finish is bitter and slightly alcoholic. Beautiful, smooth mouthfeel. Decent beer, probably won’t buy it again, though- not really my style.
