Aug 7, 2007 Bottle sampled. Pours Dark with a small tan head. Aroma of caramel, fruit, roast, and spices. The flavor is caramel, fruit, roast, and finishes with a mild spicey bitterness.

Aug 5, 2007 Bottle, August 07. Deep, black color with shinny ruby hues and a small beige head. Strong, fruity, berries aroma. Strange, empty flavor with some fruit, cinnamon traces and a rather bitter and short end. So so. Medium to light mouthfeel, a bit watery and empty. A dull, empty, vaguely herbal dark ale.

Aug 3, 2007 Bottle. Sour berry and fresh sawn wood aroma. Dark brown color with small head. Sour barley malt flavor with moderate bitterness like Angostura. An experience - a little disappointed that the elderberries didn’t come out more in the flavor.

Jul 27, 2007 Appearance: very dark brown color. Not foam.
Aroma: toasty malty, candy, oat, vintage wine; sweet fruitiness of blackberries, plums, ripe strawberries, figs and ripe apricots. Spicy; with aniseed, clove and vanilla touches. Liquory and floral.
Flavor: Intensive toasty of malts, stewed oat, grain coffee and candy. Dry-fruity of grapefruits; sweet-fruity of berries and figs; dark olives. Liquory; similar to coffee’s and cacao’s liquors. Dryness of medicinal herbs; camomile and rue. Spicy reminiscences, such as, of eucalyptus, palto, clove, vanilla, aniseed, nutmeg and ginger. Dry finish, for the toasty, resinous-hops and “exotics berries” (elderberries?). Persistent dryness, with metallic note.
Palate: medium to full body; silky and oily texture. Low carbonation.
Exotic and spicy beer, good body, nice dryness, balanced. Lack of foam. Advisable.

Jul 25, 2007 aroma is fruity, lots of berries, and ripe fruit. flavour is much the same, but its a touch sour, and the sweetness is a tad bit cloying. Fnish is sweet. quite an interesting brew.

Jul 25, 2007 Another meaty brew from Heather Ales. Nose is sharp and the taste is almost medicinal. Even so, it was a pleasure to drink. There are most likely no other beers that taste like this, so enjoy it!

Jul 24, 2007 Bottle. "Light" black color with a small to medium head. Aroma of sweet, dark fruits, molasses and chocolate. Nice.
It all falls apart is the tasting. Unidentified sourness/astringency nearly ruins any cohesive flavors. It’s still a very interesting commercial story, though.

Jul 23, 2007 12oz bottle from Ron’s in Farmington. Rather opaque black-red body with a very thin light tan head. Aroma is dominated by nuttiness and fruitiness with a firm bit of roastiness in the background. Tastes like berries and chocolate more than anything. A slight nuttiness is in the background. as well as a smoky quality. Lots of stuff in this flavor. Medium body. A tasty complex beer, that’s for sure. Not sure I’d ever be drawn to this one again, but definitely a very tasty solid ale.
