May 5, 2005 Very dark clear brown-ruby with a medium off-white head. Deep roasty, fruity aroma. Flavor has notes of roasted malt, chocolate, a hint of raisin and caramel. Some alcohol and berries detectable in the aftertaste as it warms. Medium body with smooth texture and moderate carbonation. Good head retention. Not bad.

May 2, 2005 Very stoutlike in appearance. The body of this beer is silky and as such has little head or lacing. Aroma is peaty and caramel malty with an underlying sensation resembling cardamom pods. Flavor is very well balanced, showing hops more than malt in a typical porter fashion. Also, some vague spice elements and what must be elderberry (sort of like welch’s grape juice) are steadily present in the background. Smooth alcohol finish. I enjoy this beer’s light carbonation and silky wet body more than anything -- it’s so true to Celtic beer styles of past eras.
