May 10, 2009 Dark brown body with a tan head. The aroma is roasted malt, light chocolate, dark fruits and yeast. The flavor is much the same with a hint of lighter fruits, and a bit of caramel. Alcohol is present, but not over the top.

Apr 30, 2009 Batch 1. Poured black with a brown head. Aroma of roasted malt, candy, and booze. Some candy flavor with some roasted texture. Finished with some fruit and booze hit. But not bad.

Apr 25, 2009 Sampled at DLD 09. Bourbon aroma, some fruity. Flavor is smooth, fruity, with lots of bourbon. I’m not sure what an elderberry is, so I can’t tell you whether I’m tasting them or not. Overall, pretty cool to try, though I wasn’t blown away by it.

Apr 18, 2009 Top notch stuff. Bourbon is very noticeable through out, but never overpowering and the 12% is hidden well. Definitely detect the elderberries, plus chocolate, rum, dark fruit. Nicely balanced and the perfect winter warmer I think.

Apr 14, 2009 Bottle from TheEpeiist, thanks!. Batch #3. Deep dark brown color. Elderberries, raisin and bourbon in the aroma. Malty sweet, alcoholic flavor with tobacco, dried fruit, figs, whisky and berries. Warming and inviting beer, with a touch of flowery and raisinny bitterness and oak in the aftertaste. Marvellous brew.
