Dark coloured and smooth on the palate. Fruity with a slightly bitter hop finish.

Jan 31, 2006 Bottled. Deep dark brown body with a purple hue, little or no head. Rich roasty, chocolate flavours, balanced by a mildly acidic fruity tone, all held together with a light, refreshing body that would be recognisable to lovers of Porter. This is a lovely drop and real surprise to be pulling out of the hat on a Tuesday night.

Jan 26, 2006 Assé spéciale cette bière, j’aime bien ce goût de fruit. Là si je peux en trouver du "elderberry".

Jan 21, 2006 Bottle. Dark, not see through, with medium off-white head. Very malty and vegetable aroma, slight fruit. Flavor is fruity, but very malty,and a little bitter. Very interesting, and tasty. Good beer.

Jan 21, 2006 Not that great but I did have it too cold. It should have been closer to room temperature. Nice dark color and decent aroma - tastes a bit like a porter.

Jan 7, 2006 All I could think of while drinking this was Monty Python and the Holy Grail. So I think I was laughing most of the time while trying to rate this one. Dark, deep bron color, with just a little tiny head that fades into a creamy rim. A strong medicinal aroma, alchohol and dark fruits. The texture is almost oily and tannic, strange mouthfeel. Some bread, roasted malts and a strange fruit flavor I am assuming is elderberries. This just kind of is what it is, not alot happening with this beer but worth trying.

Jan 6, 2006 11.2oz. bottle. Dark brown, nearly black with a medium sized tan head that quickly dissipated. Mild aroma of roasted malts and fruit(I have no idea what elderberries smell or taste like).
Berry flavor comes out more in the flavor with the roasted malts in the background. Bitter aftertaste.

Jan 5, 2006 Pours black, when tilted dark red/brown. When coaxed vigorously it has a very small head that dissipates quickly. Nose is pleasantly musty with a hint of malt and elderberry. Lively on the palate at first with no distinct taste immediately. Charred malt creeps in followed by a subtle elderberry hoppiness. Its a strange combination that really works for me. Not a robust ale by any means, but very enjoyable none the less.
