Williams Brothers Brewing Co. Ebulum Elderberry Black Ale
Ebulum Elderberry Black Ale is a rich, evocative Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer inspired by ancient Highland traditions. It presents a complex interplay between deep roasted barley and decadent chocolate malt, creating a sturdy foundation of cocoa and char. This darkness is pierced by the vinous, slightly tart character of infused elderberries, which add a unique dark-fruit dimension. A single hop addition provides a clean, earthy aromatic profile that leads into a satisfyingly bitter conclusion. The result is a robust, dark ale where the berry tannins and roasted grains harmonize to deliver a sophisticated, historically rooted sensory experience.
Appearance. Deep ruby-black to opaque ebony (35–40 SRM). Topped by a dense, persistent tan head with fine lacing. Clarity is generally clear, though it may show a slight dark-fruit haze when cold.
Aroma. High intensity, dominated by roasted malt notes of dark chocolate and espresso. The elderberry infusion contributes a distinct, vinous aroma reminiscent of blackberries and tart skins. A moderate earthy hop presence provides a grounded herbal backdrop, while fermentation esters remain low and clean.
Taste. The initial impression is a blend of bittersweet chocolate and toasted grain. The elderberry character emerges quickly, offering a dry, dark fruit tang that cuts through the malt richness. Hop bitterness is firm and works in tandem with the roasted barley to provide a long, bitter, and slightly drying finish. Flavors are well-balanced between the fruit’s natural acidity and the deep malt profile.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent the dark malts from becoming cloying. A subtle alcohol warmth is present at 6.5% ABV, accompanied by a light, pleasant berry skin astringency.

Elderberry ale has formed part of Celtic tradition since it was introduced by Welsh druids in the 9th century, where the ale was passed around the people of the village during the Autumn festival. Our recipe was taken from a 16th century record of domestic drinking in the Scottish Highlands and is brewed with roasted barley & chocolate malt, then infused with elderberries to deliver a dark, rich, fruity beer with a strong single hop aroma and satisfying bitter conclusion.
