Ebulum Elderberry Black Ale, a Traditional Ale by Heather Ales12 ounce bottle. This ale is based on recipes used by the Celts. It pours black with a tan head that quickly dissipates. The aroma is of berries of some sort and a minor hint of chocolate.
I find the palate weak and watery. The primary flavors are roasted malt and smokiness. It is similar to a porter, but what skews it may be the faintest hint of berries. That faint berry flavor has a mediciny edge to it, tending toward cough syrup.
This traditional ale is okay but somewhat underwhelming.
