| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Awesome birra che me son bevuto je bev al Pub del Duca jerisera allotta che ne ebbi voglia per un poco del tempo in cui vissi e non la bevvi prima di quando la ho bevuta senza apostrofo per carità se no mi sballa tutto quanto. Strepitosa ale al sambuco dal colore scuro e dal tono carezzevole eppure aggressivo, una delle migliori bevute della serata (ovviamente senza contare i lambic) Hansen (2285), Randers, Denmark

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Dec 11, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Pours black with a dark head. Doesnt have too strong of an elderberry smell, much more like a chocolatey or malty smell. The taste is very chocolatey, but with some definite fruity and berry flavors.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 9, 2008 Spycy aroma of elderberry. Small light-brown head. Fully diminishing longevity. Clear amber body. Heavy sweet flavor. Medium palate. mullet2007 (206), St. Johns, Newfoundland, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Nov 28, 2008 Pours a deep brown colour with ruby red highlights and a very thin tan head. Smells like deep roasted malts, and some coffee. There may be a hint of chocolate in there as well. Smells like a nice porter or a bit of a stout maybe. Up front the taste is light and sweet. Finishes very chalky and roasted bitter. There’s a lot of coffee flavours in it. Carbonation is low, but it works for this beer, and it is a fair bit creamy, but not downright chewy. yalnikim (782), Wellington, New Zealand
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Nov 27, 2008 Tasted 24/11/2008. Bottle fFrom www.beerstore.co.nz. Black with a lingering creamy tan head. Like a toasty Baltic Porter, sweet, bready and very ’German’ in the malt on the nose (and in the mouth). Definite undercurrent of dark fruit, subtle and interseting, with a gentle alcohol warmth. Toasty malt balances, leaving hops to play second fiddle, they’re almost unnoticeable. Palate is wonderfully long and delicately tannic, with hints of dark berries and herb. Very clean ferment but the addition of the elderberries give this the most amazing ale-like quality. Well constructed, superbly drinkable, I want more! polomagnifico (535), Saginaw, Michigan, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 26, 2008 bottle. Aroma of roasted malts, black licorice, red wine, yeast, and dark fruit. Black in the glass with a smaller than average off-white head that mostly diminished and left little lace. Flavor is sweet and slightly bitter near the finish. Palate is medium-light bodied and water soft. Cool story but in the end it didn’t impress.
