| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 1, 2005 Pours black with dark head. Moderate aroma with hints of berries- sweet smelling. Tasted earthy, with vegetable and fruit flavors. Finished mildly bitter. Palate was appealing with lively carbonation and alcoholic texture. Interesting history behind the beer recipe.

Anyway, what to expect from such a beer regarded as an elderberry black ale, is not something i can quite grasp at present. The beer: Pours darker than expected being near black with a nice mocha head. Aroma wooo infinitly different from almost anythign iv ever had before. Mint, bubblegum, coffee, smoked ham..gee this could go on. Taste well i tasted it to cold and left it to warm, lightly bitter coffee going into mint choc-chip ice cream with molasses and port. ehhh i think this might be the wierdest beer iv ever had, but heeps of goodness alround! gearbike (420), West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA

Very malty sweet aroma, with hints of coffee. Roasted carmel and coffe with malts kind of dissapears in the after taste with a late malty sweetness. Not bad ontario102 (794), Boise, Idaho, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 31, 2005 Refined dark fruity flavor and pleasant smooth, roasty, oaty graininess; a hint of nutmeg, and a nice oily smooth palate; not overy fruity or spiced; very good, and it cured my sciatica. lamas (736), Adams Morgan, Washington DC, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 27, 2005 11.2 oz. bottle. Best before end: 04/06. A VERY dark mahogany pour with virtually no head. Roasty aroma that features some malts, chocolate, coffee and dark berries. Sweet, malty body that’s a little roasty. Some dark berries are present throughout. Decent body. A little grainy and oaty. Almost stout-ish. A pleasant surprise. MrWalker (927), Stockholm, Sweden

Black colour with off white head. Tastes of stout and dish water detergent. A realy off putting combination. Artifical and strange. An experiment gone completely wrong? roder60 (1039), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 19, 2005 Pours a jet black color with a small amount of quickly dissapating whitish head. Very nice coffee, roasted sweet aroma. Flavor is bittersweet, jamish, coffee with a dry finish. Overall, definitely my favorite of the scotish ales set.
