Dec 16, 2004 A pitch black beer with a fine brown head. The aroma is of sweet caramel. The flavor is sweet and roasted combined with spices and berries. More special than good.

Dec 11, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Clear, almost black with a reddish hue and a small, creamy, light brown head. Some roasted malt in the aroma and distinct berries. Medium body with roasted malt notes and then a distinct, tart fruitiness from the berries with an astringent bitterness. Interesting. 101206

Nov 23, 2000 I found it less complex, less sweet and by far my least favourite of the Heather Ales Ltd. family.

Nov 20, 2007 33 cL bottle. Pours pitch black and with a dense light brown head. Spiced and dark roasted aroma. Roasted malt and mild chocolate smoothness in the initial flavour. A set of wineous notes and spices appear before the finish, a citric/fruity note of elderberries too - but if I didn’t know from the label that it contains elberberries I wouldn’t have guessed/sensed it. The finish itself holds a solid bitterness with a liqourice note. Nice, but lacks some more powerful flavours to be more interesting, subtle flavours are plentiful yet too vague.
