3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Another very good offering from Heather Ales. I was a bit nervous about trying a beer made from elderberries (I don’t like fruity beers), but this turned out to be very good. No heavy fruit flavors. Just a nice pleasant full flavored ale.

330ml bottle pours almost black in color with a finger of beige head that leaves a few spots of lacing on the glass. Aroma is roasted grains with hints of chocolate and berries and herbs. Taste is roasty malt and herb bitterness with some fruit and chocolate sweetness. Medium body with light carbonation. A very nice easy to drink dark ale that is recommended to try.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
I’m not a giant fan of this beer, but I have to give the brewers credit for this kind of creativity. Roasted flavor, a bit of spicyness, but the taste is dominated by the elderberry. Watery body. Tried with Olivier and Dave at the Fiddler in Den Haag.

Bottle shared at a tasting at Dagan’s place. Dark brown color. Roasty aroma, a bit spicy, with a bit of chocolate. Malty flavor, pretty roasty, with a pleasant dry finish with a tiny bit of coffee. Medium-bodied. Decent.
