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.

Jun 3, 2003 Nicely carbonated, in comparison to some other ratings here. It does look a lot like Coca Cola. Very nice earthen and leathery nose, slightly hoppy (pine needles, moss) - buttery elements in the aroma as well. Complex, yes, from the 4-pack - a hint of fruitiness that purports to be elderberry, but I don't know. Good roastiness, well-balanced.

Apr 1, 2007 Black/brown with a moderate, vanishing head. The aroma has notes of licorice and some fruits. The flavour has a lot of licorice, but I find it difficult to find the elder berries. Anyhow, it’s a very nice beer. The bitterness is low, if there at all.

Mar 29, 2005 This is a dark black ale with floral scents and a taste that brings to mind a light porter. This was the final beer I tried and actually turned out to be my favorite.

May 29, 2006 Black with little head. Rich roasted malt aroma. Chocolate and toast with a fruity tartness in the finish, a little like sour cherries. Very smooth, medium bodied. No distinct elderberry character, but then I don’t think that is the goal anyway. If I didn’t know any better I would call this an excellent porter. Shared with Tyler Durden.
