Aug 10, 2009 Pours black with a respectable head that does not last. Earthy aroma of roasted malt. Moderate carbonation with a soild full-bodied mouth feel. Taste is very stout-like; coffee, nuts, roasted malt, plus a fruitiness with touches of plum and cherry. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Great beer.

Aug 4, 2009 Bottle pours black with a thin beige head. Aroma is roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and a bit of fruit. Flavor is light roast, and coffee, definite fruity-berry flavor (elderberry?) and a lightly bitter finish.

Jul 29, 2009 Ebulum is a (barely) black ale with a red-brown hue. It has a splotchy, dense, light brown head that has great retention and leaves thick lacing on the glass. It has a very strong roasted aroma with notes of coffee and chocolate. It’s medium bodied and smooth with a light, clean finish that’s a bit acidic. It tastes quite roasty and there’s a sharp, green bitterness that plays off that well. It’s mostly a coffee flavor, with notes of dark fruit and a dry red wine flavor at the finish. It’s unique and tasty.

Jul 27, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours almost black with a glowing brown hue. Aroma is very floral, very nature oriented. Lots of berry, roasted malts, grassy, dark fruit. Flavor is very interesting. Nice robust maltiness starting out followed by a slight berry fruit tartness. Dark malts abound through the finish along with the dark fruit and a woodiness that gives a nice round character that never gets too sweet, tart, bitter etc. Medium body and a sharp carbonation. I really enjoyed this beer, a fun and different flavor but still enjoyable, not too out there.

Jul 13, 2009 Pouring a non-transparent and very dark brown colour, this beer was completely headless. Bad bottle? Fortunately not. The aroma suggested some dark chocolate and burnt coffee. The taste was rather like the nose but there was also an intangible which I surmise was the elderberries. More like a porter with fruit, I think, but very drinkable all the same. Good mouthfeel and finish to boot.
