Jun 6, 2006 Bottle. Nice, subtle roasted malt notes, with an lightly acidic, lightly vinous mouthfeel. Only slight hints of berrries. But if you had it blind, you may not pick out the berries. I thought this was a nice one.

Dec 30, 2005 Bottled, best before 12/06. Pours a super deep ruby color. Minimal head. Sweet, smokey aroma. Some red wine type aromas as well. Flavor is an intersting smoke flavor that is complimented by the flavor of berries. Finish is roasted maltiness. Very enjoyable brew.

Jan 10, 2002 Dark ale, with red shades, wonderful thick head. Roasted malt aroma, lightly fruity. Classic stout taste; the fruits are very difficult to distinguish, they just add a light acidity. Good roasted and hop final.

Mar 14, 2006 Dark, malty fruit aroma with cocoa almost a whiff of cinnamon. Opaque brown with a stiff tan head. Tangy and homebrew-like. Dark malts give ita a porter/coffee taste. Finishes quite bitterly, medium heavy body without a whole lot of residual CO<sub>2</sub>. Metallic on the lips. Clingy aftertaste. Technically decent, but I didn’t enjoy this on an empty stomach.

Apr 22, 2002 Black body with a thick chocolate head that sat a tad too thick. The roastedness of the aroma had a fruit note or two and lent a robust quality to this brew. Medium body with berry notes which add a pleasant component to this barley-rich beer. The grainy component of this beer along with the light berry/wine notes makes this an enjoyable experience and a beer worth trying again.

Sep 9, 2003 Updated: Sep 25, 2005A porterish, roasted liveliness unexpectedly surveys a familiar territory...Elderberries (very similar to blackberries, it seems) waltz homogenously with the lactic creaminess which appears midway...Well-crafted, a little smoky, but relatively unthreatening dark ale...
