There are many elderberry wine and ale recipes, but the most common ale was Ebulum which was reputed to have been a black ale tasting richly of roasted grain and wine. Heather Ale Ltd. has re-created this ale by brewing from roasted barley, oats and wheat boiled with herbs then fermented with ripe elderberries.
Complements to Ebulum:
Drink with baked and stewed foods. Drink lightly chilled from a straight glass.
Quotes:
"A rich black ale with fruit aroma, silky soft texture, soft roasted flavor and a gentle finish."
