Aug 15, 2006 Bottle, brought by a friend from England. Black color, tan to beige "cafe latte" head; beautiful, but non-lasting, head. Soft gentle a bit chocolate and burnt scent, but more towards the chocolate bit. Warming up the beer grows a fresh fruity scent. Soft but a bit thin mouthfeel. Low bitterness. Small chocolate taste mixed with alcohol, mellow burnt aftertaste. Can’t taste the elderberry and the entire beer is a bit too weak for my taste.

Aug 4, 2006 33 cL Bottle. Pours mahogany coffee dark, with a fringe of sienna and a rim of tan. Aroma glows of rich fruits, fresh squeeze lime juice and a drop of tannined tequila. Some mild marshy character in a peaty way. Complex and bright. Flavor falls short on the fame line, with heavy roasted soapy alcohol. Palate bites with dryness and salted roast grain. Unbalanced.

Jul 19, 2006 Dark pour with a long lasting tan head and good lacing. Aroma of hops, coffee and berry. Good touch of bitterness with the strong chocolate/coffee flavors. Nice hoppy aftertaste without going too far. Great Stuff!

Jun 26, 2006 Poured a dark black with a thick, almost nitrogen poured, tan head. Aroma has lots of chocolate and fruit that seems like a mix between blackberries and red wine grapes. Flavor is very rich and memorable, a smooth bittersweet chocolate blended with what I asume is eldeberries, though my inexperience with them leads me to descibe as blackberries and red wine grapes. That fruit flavor is rather subtle, and sneaks up behind the creamy chocolate flavor. Mouthfeel is very full bodied but the beer is relatively dry. I could drink quite a lot of these.

Jun 21, 2006 Had no idea what to expect but, guess, what, this beer rocked. Deep roasty, caramel flavor with an awesome head on the pour. I still don’t know what an Elderberry is, but apparently they make good beers.

Jun 21, 2006 Thank god for some dark beers, liquorice, almost full body. Can’t find the Elderberry but that didn’t matter. Lovely, didn’t notice the alcohoI but it hits you later.

Jun 16, 2006 A dark brown with an almost maroon tinge. A medium-bodied tan head. Aroma of tobacco and anise. This tastes like the gluwein served at German Christmas markets. Very herby in both aroma and taste.
