May 25, 2008 Pours a dark brown, with a small off white head. Smells of banana, plums, clove, and other spices. The flavor is very fruity, with the elderberries and various other fruits all taking precedent in the up front flavors. Got some definite minty spices in the finish. Very fresh tasting, almost like a palate cleanser. The aftertaste was very minty with some profound bitterness. Very interesting brew. The spices and fruit blends were intriguing and enjoyable.

May 20, 2008 courtesy of Toni Flükiger - dark black coloured with a little elusive brown foam; fair aroma of chocolate malts and undefined red fruits; good malt body, moderately sweet with a toasty malty and fruity finish, quite dry and with notes of ashes - very pleasant

May 14, 2008 Rich cola color with small, transient head. Initial aroma of malty-powdered chocolate, and roastiness; typical of a modern stout/porter. After beer warms; subtle berry and vinegar/vinous note arises in aroma and taste. Lack of hops. Subtle tartness/sourness at the very end of the finish. Thin to medium bodied. Very mild. I like the flavor combination, but it needs to be more overstated.

May 9, 2008 Bottle, pours black with a ruby tinge. Fabulous aroma of berry which gives way to a peaty smokiness. Velvety mouthfeel. Flavour is roasted malt , berry, dark chocolate. Nicely balanced, dryish bitter, hoppy finish. A complex and massively enjoyable brew. A real treat.

May 9, 2008 Pours deep red/almost black with head that dies instantly. Berries and moderate roast and hints of chocolate in nose. Flavor follows nose, though roasts dominate. Feels a little watery.
