Sep 28, 2008 very deep, black body with a decent sized creamy mocha colored head. Lots of porter coffee bean flavor with a light hint of blackberry and other soft fruit notes. Very roasted malt base.

Sep 28, 2008 Very dark brown, near black. Beige head. Faint aroma, rather vegetal with just a suggestion of a roasted malt and perhaps some sweetness. The taste is surprisingly bland. A little ash and some unidentified fruit. Rather porter-like. Some late dryness. It wasn’t bad, but I wouldn’t bother to buy it again.

Sep 27, 2008 Pours a dark brown color with an off white head. Aroma was very sweet, with a fruitness I could not detect, i gues elderberries. Flavor was also sweet, too sweet for my liking. Elderberries shining through the most.

Sep 18, 2008 Pours a rather black color with a decent head that laces the glass rather nicely. Aromas contain smells of sweet berries, roasted malts, and slightly hoppy. Flavor involves the taste of the sweet elderberries mixed wonderfully with the malts. Hops are balanced well. This is really nice after dinner beer. Very well done.
