Aug 27, 2005 11.2 oz. bottle. Best before end: 04/06. A VERY dark mahogany pour with virtually no head. Roasty aroma that features some malts, chocolate, coffee and dark berries. Sweet, malty body that’s a little roasty. Some dark berries are present throughout. Decent body. A little grainy and oaty. Almost stout-ish. A pleasant surprise.

Oct 27, 2004 Pours dark brown/red then look black with slight red glow. Small mocha colored head. Smells earthy, and fruity. Rich full taste, kind of tastes like a stout but fruitier. I can’t really describe the exact taste. It goes down pretty smooth but leaves an aftertaste.

Aug 15, 2005 This was the first beer I ordered of the night, and I couldn’t have been more disappointed at first. The taste was a little flat, nothing stood out. However, it really grew on me, the intense elderberry flavor really crescendos into something terrific. Color is breathtakingly dark, aroma is almost there, hinting at the great flavor. A must try.

Jul 19, 2006 Dark pour with a long lasting tan head and good lacing. Aroma of hops, coffee and berry. Good touch of bitterness with the strong chocolate/coffee flavors. Nice hoppy aftertaste without going too far. Great Stuff!

Jun 4, 2007 Pours a dark ruby brown with a off-white head, sweet berry and some faint blueberry fragrances, faint brown ale aroma, some grassy weed fragrances, faint bitter berry and chocolate flavors, flavors were not big except the berry, not real interesting, little alcohol in the sip, very dry on the palate, this was so so…

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 9, 2008 Pours deep red/almost black with head that dies instantly. Berries and moderate roast and hints of chocolate in nose. Flavor follows nose, though roasts dominate. Feels a little watery.
